Albert Hall Mansions, Kensington
Whether you want to cut-down on the commute to your next concerto or simply want a home with views across Hyde Park, this Kensington apartment is located in the perfect spot. Sat on the former site of Gore House – home of abolitionist William Wilberforce – the current property was designed in 1878 by renowned architect Richard Norman Shaw, as part of Prince Albert’s plan for a new culture and science centre in South Kensington: Albertopolis. The first apartments of their kind, Albert Hall Mansions marked a new era in city living with homes purpose-built for the upper echelons of society. Legend has it that Queen Victoria purchased the mansions and gifted them to her cousins to celebrate the completion of Prince Albert’s project. And now, one of those same homes is on the market: a three-bedroom, duplex apartment. Click here to view the property
