Dickens Yard

Development Overview

Dickens Yard is an established, mixed-use new build development located in the heart of Ealing, London W5 2XA. The scheme, delivered by St George plc (a member of the Berkeley Group), is a significant urban regeneration project that has transformed the area by integrating three of Ealing’s Victorian landmarks—the Town Hall, the Old Fire Station, and the Parish Church of Christ the Saviour—with new residential and commercial space. The development is largely complete and comprises modern, high-specification apartments, including Manhattan (studio), 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, and a limited number of 5-bedroom penthouse residences. The Berkeley Group has a strong track record, having been named the UK’s top homebuilder for build quality by HomeViews in 2025 and consistently achieving Gold for Best Large Housebuilder at the WhatHouse? Awards.

Property Details

The apartments offer an interior specification designed for contemporary London living. Typical residences feature custom-designed kitchens equipped with high-quality integrated appliances and luxurious bathrooms finished with Villeroy and Boch sanitaryware. Many units, including 1-bedroom apartments (e.g., in Skyline House), benefit from wood flooring, fitted wardrobes, utility cupboards, and private balconies or terraces, ensuring natural daylight and outside space. Leasehold and Shared Ownership options are available, with new build homes offering the protection of a 10-year build warranty. Residents benefit from comprehensive on-site facilities, including a 24-hour concierge service, a private residents’ spa, a fitness suite with a swimming pool, sauna, and steam room, and managed underground car parking.
