Inside a $13 million London penthouse of British landmarks
Inside million London penthouse tours rarely showcase this: a St. John's Wood home seeking offers above £9.75 million (about $13 million), lined with salvaged British landmarks—Heathrow stone floors, a Brighton Pier kitchen shelf, Manchester fireplace columns—plus nearly 1,800 square feet of private terraces and a rooftop hot tub.
Key Takeaways
- The penthouse is jointly listed with Savills and Simon Deen Real Estate for offers above £9.75 million (about $13 million).
- Floors use stone from Heathrow Airport; a kitchen shelf was fashioned from Brighton Pier; fireplace columns came from a demolished Manchester department store.
- Original 1960s beams stay exposed, alongside reclaimed timber, vintage brass, leaded-glass doors, and a kitchen island made from a snooker table.
- Outdoor space includes nearly 1,800 square feet of private terraces and a rooftop hot tub opposite Primrose Hill and Regent's Park.
What makes this St. John's Wood listing stand out?
Views across the London skyline may draw the eye first. The home sits directly opposite Primrose Hill and Regent's Park, a position agents call exceptional for the neighborhood.
What truly sets it apart, though, is how much British fabric has been stitched into the interiors. According to Robb Report's coverage, stone from Heathrow Airport lines the floors, a piece of Brighton Pier became a kitchen shelf, and columns salvaged from a demolished Manchester department store now frame a fireplace.
For readers tracking luxury real estate and dream homes, that mix of skyline outlook and reclaimed story is the rare one-two punch.
How were British landmarks reused inside the home?
The décor leans into revival rather than blank-slate luxury. Pieces throughout were restored, repurposed, or upcycled, giving rooms a layered feel instead of a showroom finish.
Original beams from the building's 1960s construction were left exposed. Reclaimed timber, vintage brass fixtures, and leaded-glass doors add warmth. Even the kitchen island began life as a snooker table—another wink at British leisure culture rebuilt for daily use.
Stephen Lindsay, head of Savills St John's Wood, says the reclaimed and one-of-a-kind materials give the apartment "depth, texture, and a genuine sense of story," so the home "reveals itself over time, rather than immediately."
Why does the asking price matter right now?
The residence is offered jointly through Savills and Simon Deen Real Estate with offers above £9.75 million, roughly $13 million. That puts it firmly in London's super-prime band while pitching a different mood than glass-box new builds.
Simon Deen, founder of Simon Deen Real Estate, calls it "an antidote to the ubiquity of super-prime design," citing the reclaimed materials, custom commissions, and handcrafted details. Lindsay adds that it is "one of the most distinctive penthouses" Savills has brought to market in recent years, praising both the park-facing position and the atmosphere the owners created.
Nearly 1,800 square feet of private terraces and a rooftop hot tub extend that story outdoors—skyline views paired with salvaged British character under one roof.
