Our Vision
Our new restaurant in Mayfair will be a discreet fine-dining experience committed to exceptional quality and the highest standards of service.
16 Charles Street
16 Charles Street is located in the heart of Mayfair on the north side of Charles Street opposite the junction with Queen Square. The area is well-served by a wide range of local businesses and is within easy walking distance to Green Park underground station. The building is located in the Mayfair Conservation Area and the Core Central Activities Zone.
Charles Street has character and history, which we are keen to preserve and enhance.
The building at 16 Charles Street is a Grade II* listed Georgian property, which dates back to 1753. The building has played a significant role in the social history of London and was the former home of the high society hostess Dame Margaret Greville. Here, Dame Margaret hosted society soirees where she entertained politicians, royalty and celebrities.
The building was later redesigned by the prestigious and architectural partnership of Mewès and Davis, best known for designing the Ritz Hotel on Piccadilly. Together, they invested in the house to make it suitable for entertaining. Over the past years, the building has been in use as office space, however, it is currently vacant. Below shows some imagery of the building and rooms at present.
