104 Grosvenor Road, London SW1V 3LH – Pimlico
Darwin House is a residential development project located at 104 Grosvenor Road, Pimlico, London SW1. Work is due to finish in July 2026 and will replace the existing 1980s Darwin House, the former Balmoral Castle Public House, and 23 garages. Under the new development will be two buildings that have a total of 52 affordable residential units.
Located in the desirable location of Pimlico, in the City of Westminster, the development is positioned near the River Thames. Pimlico's picturesque streets and historic character are complemented by excellent transport links into central London, allowing residents the best of both worlds, a thriving local neighbourhood with convenient access to an area of the capital with a unique identity.
The development consists of two blocks:
Blok A: 34 units of community-supported social rented housing in a 7-storey building
Block B: A 5-story building with 18 units for one-bedroom intermediate rented housing.
The developments are designed to offer new, high-specification homes designed for the local community.
This development addresses local needs with well-considered homes for affordable living. The site will be reimagined to include a modern, working space that revitalizes the community, as they replace antiquated structures such as the 1980s Darwin House and the Balmoral Castle Public House.
Darwin House embodies Westminster's commitment to housing renewal, marrying modern design with affordability. Nestled within Pimlico, the development's strategic location guarantees that residents will have convenient access to central London, whilst also enjoying the tranquillity of a community-driven residential area.

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.
