The OWO Residences, Whitehall, London SW1A

Description

This three-bedroom residence spans 2,626 sq ft on the fourth floor of the distinguished OWO Residences. Formerly the Old War Office, it served as the epicentre of British statecraft for more than a century, where figures like Sir Winston Churchill once worked. The landmark building has now been transformed into residences befitting their exceptional location, with Raffles' renowned hospitality woven into everyday life.

Designed by leading interior studio Sims Hilditch, this three-bedroom London residence marks the brand’s first expression of its refined countryside aesthetic in the capital, seamlessly balancing tradition and comfort. A softly feminine home layered in berry and blush tones, rich textures, and bespoke craftsmanship. The living and study spaces feature statement design from a burgundy velvet sofa to walnut joinery and artisanal finishes. Meanwhile, the principal suite offers a serene retreat, with curated art and heritage detailing bringing a refined British sensibility throughout.

The layout has been cleverly configured to create distinct social and private spaces. The sweeping entrance hall impresses at the very outset, leading right into the open-plan reception and dining hall and bespoke, well-appointed kitchen. A private study is tucked away from the living areas.

The hall extends left to the three bedrooms, designed as calm, discreet retreats. They're exceptionally generous and complete with fitted wardrobes and luxurious ensuites. A guest cloakroom completes the layout.

The interiors showcase a classical palette of pale creams, warm whites, and soft golds. Soaring ceilings and elegant detailing throughout complement the natural light flooding through tall sash windows and the rooflight.
As part of The OWO, residents enjoy full access to five-star amenities, embodying Raffles' signature luxury: A 25-metre swimming pool, vitality pools, a spa, a fitness centre, a cinema, lounges, and a private garden. The 120-room Raffles Hotel, the first in the UK, offers nine restaurants, three bars, and extensive à la carte services from in-residence dining and housekeeping to chauffeurs, private chefs, and personal spa therapists.
The OWO overlooks Horse Guards Parade and positions residents within easy reach of Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, St James's Park, and the distinguished members' clubs of St James's Street.
