Summary - Flat 7, 8 Francis Street SW1P 1QN
4 bed 4 bath Apartment
Dramatic high‑ceiling apartment moments from St James's Park and Victoria station.
Approximately 4,438 sq ft over two floors plus mezzanine
An exceptional, very large four-bedroom apartment arranged over two principal floors plus a mezzanine, offering roughly 4,438 sq ft of living space in the heart of Westminster. Soaring circa 5m ceilings, wide arching windows and industrial-loft character create dramatic reception spaces filled with natural light, while a library, principal suite with dressing room, and mezzanine reception provide flexible family living and entertaining areas. The property includes one allocated off‑street parking space and lift access for convenience.
Practical features include a well-equipped kitchen with a separate utility room, four bathrooms (one with sauna), built-in storage and a long underlying lease of approximately 982 years. Heating is by air‑source heat pump and warm air (electric), and the apartment has double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The location is prime Westminster — moments from St James's Park, Victoria transport and central cultural landmarks.
Notable costs and constraints are material: the service charge is very high at £24,209 (budgeted 2025/26) and council tax is described as very expensive. Broadband speeds are reported very slow despite excellent mobile signal. Crime levels in the immediate area are indicated as very high; buyers should satisfy themselves on local security measures. The apartment is leasehold (no ground rent) — the long lease is positive, but the high running costs and inner‑city surroundings are important considerations.
This home suits a purchaser seeking dramatic, central living with generous entertaining space and strong architectural character, who is comfortable with high service costs and the realities of a busy Westminster setting. The substantial square footage and flexible layout also appeal to those looking for a unique pied‑à‑terre or a family base close to top schools and central amenities.
