6 Bedroom Villa in St Jamess Park, London

Some places just carry that classic London feeling, even before you open the door. This six bedroom villa at No6 Buckingham Gate honestly stops you in your tracks from the street. I caught myself just standing there for a second, looking up at the white front, those old columns and the way the historic facade sits right across from Buckingham Palace. There's something special about knowing this house has seen so much London history unfolding right outside its windows.

Inside, it is the space that gets you first. Words like ceiling height get thrown around, but here you just feel it. My guess is those main living rooms soar at least fourteen feet. When you walk through, it feels a bit like those Regency films but with strong WiFi and really nice air conditioning. Modern comfort tucked behind a classic look. The lift takes you to every floor so whether you have shopping bags or a tired day, you won't have to worry. With seven full floors and over fifteen thousand square feet, you honestly start wondering how you would fill all the rooms, but it never feels cold or too formal. Five reception rooms mean you could host pretty much everyone you know and then find a quiet spot for yourself. When I sat by those tall south facing windows looking out, the light just poured in. You might sit there with a coffee in the morning, watching the sun pick out details in the wooden floors, or get this view of the palace grounds most people only see on postcards. I have to admit, seeing the guards change on a slow Sunday morning is a bit surreal, but it just becomes part of your day here.

The kitchen, and this surprised me, genuinely feels like a place to cook, not just for looks. People could actually live here, bake bread, laugh, and get a coffee going before work. It is open enough for family life or a dinner party and there is still enough space if you ever want help from staff. That kind of balance is honestly rare right in the heart of London.

Upstairs, every bedroom seems to have its own style. The main suite really stands out for me, mainly because you can step onto a private terrace. I tried it out and the air actually felt fresh, even right in the city. Sometimes you see someone cycling out towards St Jamess Park. You might spot someone walking their dog or families heading out for the day. Some neighbors have lived on this street for years and it just gives the whole area this steady, settled feeling you do not always get in central London.

You do not really expect a spa in a house that looks this classic, but it is here and actually feels like a true retreat. The pool is close to ten meters so you can really swim, not just paddle. After a workout you have a sauna and there's a bar for a quick drink. If you're one for massages or treatments, the room is ready for that too. And the gym looks out over some greenery, with big doors you can open to let fresh air roll through.

Honestly, it is the little things that stick with you. Some fireplaces still work and the rest are carefully redone so you still get that real warmth. The original staircases feel so solid, and those French windows and shutters all still open easily. Technology is here too. From smart security to twenty four hour concierge, nothing ever feels over the top or lacking. It all just fits.

Location wise, it is almost unbeatable. You can walk to Green Park for an afternoon picnic or head to a theatre or restaurant without needing to book a car. And even with all of London on your doorstep, somehow it stays calm. Sometimes you notice local families out and about, students heading off to lectures, a neighbor nodding hello. It feels welcoming.
