St John’s Wood Square: A Contemporary Tribute to Historical Significance
Set within the prestigious City of Westminster, St John’s Wood Square is an exceptional residential development that harmoniously blends modern living with the rich heritage of its surroundings. Developed by McGee, this ambitious project is situated on a 2.2-hectare site formerly occupied by the St John’s Wood Barracks and adjacent properties at Queen’s Terrace. The location is perfectly positioned between the vibrant Finchley Road and the scenic Primrose Hill, on the periphery of the St John’s Wood Conservation Area.
The development comprises 171 luxury apartments, with prices starting from £995,000 for one-bedroom homes. St John’s Wood Square has been meticulously designed to foster a thriving community, offering an array of amenities that appeal to families and individuals alike. Residents will enjoy the convenience of a private swimming pool housed within the repurposed Grade II listed Riding School, which serves as a unique leisure amenity for both local residents and schools.
St John’s Wood Square is not just a collection of apartments; it embodies a vision of high-quality living. The development features elegantly designed flats, each equipped with balconies that provide a tranquil outdoor space. The project has been carefully planned to ensure that a significant portion of the dwellings will be affordable, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and community development.
The landscape surrounding the apartments is thoughtfully integrated with green spaces, including park and riverside walks, offering residents serene environments for relaxation and recreation. Local cafés and eateries further enhance the community feel, providing charming spots for socialising and unwinding.
The architectural narrative of the site pays homage to its historical roots, with careful restoration of the Riding School, preserving the essence of its past while creating a contemporary residential environment. The name "St John’s Wood Square" itself is a nod to a historical square that once graced the area, bridging the gap between past and present.
With completion anticipated in the near future, St John’s Wood Square is poised to become a landmark of modern urban living, characterised by its historical significance and commitment to creating a vibrant community for generations to come.
