Tranquil pied-à-terre in iconic Grade II listed Mayfair building with luxury designer neighbours and direct views over Mount Street gardens
Thu 17 Sep 2026
At 101 Mount Street, one of Mayfair’s most iconic addresses, in London’s epicentre of discreet luxury shopping and dining, a beautifully refurbished one-bedroom apartment with 622sq.ft. of light-filled living space, south-facing floor-to-ceiling French balcony windows overlooking historic Mount Street Gardens and lift access is for sale via sole selling agent Wetherell.
This perfect Mayfair pied-à-terre is a rare gem, exceptionally bright and quiet, on the third floor of 101 Mount Street, a fine Grade II Listed building set within the exclusive Mayfair Conservation Area, just a five-minute walk from Bond Street Underground station. The home neighbours some of Prime Central London’s most exclusive boutiques, eateries and galleries, including Balmain, Christian Louboutin, Scott’s, George, and Royal Family favourites Mount Street Restaurant and Farm Shop Mayfair, with Hyde Park a 10-minute stroll away.
Providing a large bedroom, a bathroom, spacious reception/dining room and kitchen, with high ceilings throughout and a fresh, neutral palette, the home offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of Mayfair’s important architectural heritage coupled with rare, direct views over Mount Street Gardens, one of the Capital’s most storied green spaces.
Since the end of the 19th century, 101 Mount Street has been an iconic presence in the Mayfair streetscape and skyline, built during the great Victorian reconstruction of Mount Street commissioned by Hugh Grosvenor, the 1st Duke of Westminster. Designed by architect Albert J. Bolton between 1889 and 1895, the building forms part of a continuous sweep of richly ornamented Franco-Flemish Renaissance-style architecture, running from Mount Street around the corner into South Audley Street.
Its fine red-brick and moulded terracotta facade, and roofline animated by domes, tourelles and elaborately detailed chimney stacks, mark it out as one of London’s finest listed terraces, still retaining its grand, historic shopfronts at ground-floor level and luxurious living chambers above.
While the home is just moments from the neighbourhood’s most famous open-green space, the prestigious, bustling Grosvenor Square, its uninterrupted bird’s-eye views over peaceful 1.5 acre Mount Street Gardens, with its fascinating history and original planting design, are highly sought-after.
This quietly beguiling green enclave, tucked away between Mount Street, South Audley Street and Farm Street, derives its name from Oliver’s Mount, a Civil War fortification that gave its title to the surrounding streets during Mayfair’s initial development during the early 18th century. From its first purpose as a burial ground serving the parish of St George’s, Hanover Square, between 1889 and 1890, the gardens were converted into a public space by Hugh Grosvenor, the 1st Duke of Westminster.
Since then, it has been at the heart of Mount Street’s thriving culture and community, retaining its original footpaths and Grade II Listed fountain, designed by Harold Peto and Sir Ernest George and topped with bronze rearing horse statue, while continuing to evolve. In early 2025, the gardens became the first international Sacred Place designated by Nature Sacred, an organisation dedicated to creating sanctuaries of contemplation within urban green spaces.
Mount Street Gardens sit at the centre of a constellation of institutions that give this corner of Mayfair its distinctive character. These include Grade II* Listed 1730s Grosvenor Chapel, on South Audley Street, where Florence Nightingale, General Eisenhower and Sir John Betjeman worshipped, and, directly opposite, the red-brick Grade II Listed Mayfair Public Library, which still has a key role in the thriving local community.
Arriving home to 101 Mount Street, you are instantly immersed in a sense of history, elegance and British craftsmanship, the heavy oak front door framed by an archway and terracotta-panelled pilasters, the building’s façade rising up above through several storeys displaying moulded ornaments, portrait roundels and carved masks.
A lift from the grand entrance lobby takes you up to the third floor apartment, whose private door opens onto a spacious hallway, the ambience instantly bright and airy. Leading off to the left is the 17ft. 5in. by 15ft. 11in. reception/dining room, featuring cornicing, a period-style fireplace and three sets of floor-to-ceiling French windows opening onto a decorative balcony. From here are uninterrupted views over Mount Street Gardens, its stately London plane trees, pretty footpaths and fountain.
At the end of the main hallway is the kitchen, designed in contemporary style with sleek white cabinetry, and with space for a breakfast table. A second hallway leads to the spacious, sanctuary-like bedroom, in a palette of creams and greige, with two large windows also overlooking Mount Street Gardens. A bathroom, with both shower and bath, completes the internal space.
The new owners of 101 Mount Street will be joining a long line of famous residents of the enclave, which have included Prime Minister Winston Churchill, art critic John Ruskin and writer and theatre critic Kenneth Tynan. Building on its legacy of exclusivity, today the street offers everything a modern Mayfairite needs, from micro-lot artisan coffee shops to Farm Shop, London’s most glamorous farm-to-fork grocer, and Mount Street Restaurant, both outposts of gallerists and restaurateurs Hauser & Wirth, of which the Royal Family are fans. The Connaught, Claridge’s, Scott’s, Annabel’s, Balmain, Christian Louboutin, Bremont and Jenny Packham are other global designer names based on the street.
101 Mount Street has excellent transport connections, a short walk from several Underground stations including Bond Street 0.3m (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth Line, with fast access to Heathrow Airport), Green Park 0.4m (Jubilee, Piccadilly, Victoria), Marble Arch 0.4m (Central), Hyde Park Corner 0.5m (Piccadilly) and Oxford Circus 0.5m (Bakerloo, Central, Victoria)
