65 Whitfield Street, London W1T 4AH – Fitzrovia
All new homes in this development are sold out. We can help you find a secondary housing option in Asta House.
Asta House provides a new take on urban living, right in the heart of the characterful and well-connected Fitzrovia district with its great history of artists, writers and designers. With a W1 postcode, this is a place close to the bustle of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street, yet tucked away on the quiet corner of Whitfield Street and Chitty Street.
Asta House is an airy, wide-windowed brick and Cumbrian slate building – originally for light-industrial use, then offices and studios – dating from the 1950s. Now Derwent London is transforming this very adaptable building into an intelligently-planned and richly detailed residential enclave with a variety of apartments and two penthouses, all overseen by an on-site concierge.
Location
Fitzrovia maintains plenty of its historically Bohemian and creative flavour. Well-provided with good independent restaurants, pubs and cafes, private art galleries and shops, it has long been an independently-minded district that is as much residential, commercial and (with University College London nearby) academic.
Its grid of streets, laid out from Georgian times onwards, was a key location for the postwar avant-garde art set known as the English Constructionists, but the artistic presence here, including writers and musicians, goes back centuries further.
Long known as a centre for creative industries such as advertising, engineering and architecture, it has a youthful population. Well-served by Underground stations, bus routes and (from late 2018) by the new Elizabeth Line express metro at Tottenham Court Road.

Choosing a floor plan might be tricky, but it shouldn't be so. See 3 quick tips below to pick only the right layout for your new home.
Tip 1 — Measure it all
You might already know your desired square footage when choosing a new home. Generally, more bedrooms mean more space, which also drives up the prices.
However, modern developers offer smart floor plans so you can make better use of the space. For instance, a studio with an open floor plan can be much more efficient and affordable than a typical 1-bedroom apartment with a traditional floor plan.
Tip 2 – Go with the flow
Once you have picked one or several layouts, you need to imagine living in the space. Visualise daily activities like laundry or cooking: is it convenient? Do you have enough space?
Online interior design apps that offer 3D visualisation (many of them are free) are time-savers here. Just download the desired floor plan from 1newhomes, upload it to the website you chose, and get a 3D render to visualise living in your new home.
Tip 3 — Do not neglect flexible space
The current lifestyle dictates its own rules. That’s why you need to consider flexible space in your perfect floor plan to have room for a home office or a gym. In addition, be sure to check that your new flat has a lot of natural light. The importance of the latter goes without saying.
A good floor plan means having all you need in a smartly designed space. We are sure our quick tips help you pick only the perfect layout for your new home.
