Nestled on the historic grounds of Whitehall, The OWO Residences by Raffles stands as a pinnacle of luxury living in London. A remarkable transformation of the century-old Old War Office, this prestigious address intertwines rich British history with the epitome of contemporary sophistication.
An Evening of Grandeur
Thanks to an exclusive invitation by Douglas Elliman and their international arm, Knight Frank, I experienced first-hand the lavish allure of The OWO Residences during an intimate dinner and property presentation (photos coming on my Instagram soon). The NYC event was at The Metropolitan Club, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle available but also emphasized the unique blend of historic elegance and modern luxury that defines The OWO, which now has already sold 50% of the residences and most buyers have been from NYC.
Architectural Majesty and Historical Significance
Originally constructed over a century ago, The OWO has witnessed some of the most significant events in British history. It was here that leaders like Winston Churchill and literary figures like Ian Fleming shaped the future of the nation—and the world. Now meticulously restored, the building integrates its noble past with luxurious present-day amenities, ensuring a living experience that is as grand as its legacy.
Residences Fit for Royalty
The OWO Residences comprise 85 exquisite homes ranging from one to five bedrooms, each boasting unique features such as high ceilings and majestic views of London’s ceremonial axes. Residents will enjoy about 30,000 sq ft of private leisure and amenity spaces, including a state-of-the-art gym, a 25-meter swimming pool, and a private cinema, all designed to offer an unmatched level of privacy and exclusivity.
A Culinary Journey
Dining at The OWO is a journey through world-class gastronomy. With nine new restaurants and three elegant bars, residents and guests can indulge in a variety of culinary experiences curated by internationally acclaimed chefs like Mauro Colagreco and establishments like the Michelin-starred Laperouse.
An Invitation to Raffles Diamond Club
Ownership at The OWO extends beyond the home—it’s an invitation to an exclusive lifestyle. Residents gain access to the Raffles Diamond Club, which offers bespoke privileges and unmatched services, ensuring every need is met with the utmost care and attention.
The OWO Residences by Raffles is more than a luxury development; it’s a revival of a historical landmark where every corner tells a story, and every amenity brings a promise of the finest living experience. For those seeking an iconic London address that offers both a link to the past and a gateway to a privileged lifestyle, The OWO Residences is unmatched.
