INTERMEDIATE MARKET RENT (IMR) - Introducing Castle & Victoria, a collection of 5 boutique apartments in beautifully restored Victorian buildings in the heart of Westminster, all available through intermediate rental (IMR). A place you’ll be proud to call your home, the perfect marriage of quality, style and location.
IMR at Castle & Victoria is a rare opportunity to rent a new apartment in one of the most historic and desirable areas of London. Exclusively for people working or living in the London Borough of Westminster, it’s a chance to live in a fashionable modern home, in an area that is central to your life.
A fusion of the best of old and new, Castle & Victoria’s buildings date from the late nineteenth century. Redeveloped to fit right in with the surroundings, exterior facades have been meticulously restored, with special attention paid to entranceways and building footprints.
Interiors have been fully rebuilt, bringing them up to the high standards of a bespoke modern urban home.
A mere 4-minute walk away to St James’ Park underground station, Castle & Victoria is exceptionally well located within the Birdcage Walk Conservation Area, near Buckingham Palace, St James’ Park and Tate Britain on the Thames. This is living history, and this is far more.
So much of what makes London a global city, is close to your front door with world-class museums and galleries, incredible shopping and entertainment, and food and drink experiences from all over the world.
