204a Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5NP – Marylebone
This latest new-build development offers you an absolutely rare opportunity to enjoy the best of modern design and refined traditions on Great Portland Street, Marylebone.
We are delighted to present W1 Place, a gorgeous new build that is located at the intersection of the prestigious Marylebone and Fitzrovia districts of central London.
The design of W1 Place pays homage to the history of its surroundings and the classically styled architecture of the area, but has a distinct aesthetic with its own modern touches. Architect Simon Bowden makes use of limestone, bronze and Japanese porcelain to great effect, with features such as lantern bay windows and decorative trellises.
A selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartment ensures that this is a great option for everyone from the young single professional looking at a first home to a growing family seeking a primary residence or a pied a terre. The apartments feature sophisticated European-style design with wood floors in the main living areas and bedrooms, plus tiled flooring in the bathrooms.
Marylebone is a haven for artists, writers and musicians, as indicated by the blue plaques dotted around the neighbourhood. Within walking distance from W1 Place, you will find a multitude of restaurants, bars, and cultural attraction. Great Portland Street station is also quite close by, connecting you to the rest of London easily.
Location
Great Portland Street acts as the unifying line between Marylebone and Fitzrovia, two vibrant neighbourhoods filled with striking architecture and an abundance of cafés, pubs, bars and eateries.
Bookended by Oxford Street and Euston Road, Great Portland Street is at the very heart of these two historic districts, and indeed London itself. The acclaimed Portland Hospital nearby has a long list of exceptional notable births from celebrities to the British Royal Family, earmarking the famous medical and wellness tradition in the area.
The blue plaques dotted around the area will tell you that over the years, both Marylebone and Fitzrovia have had their fair share of talented and celebrated individuals walk the streets. Maybe it's the village feel of Marylebone, or the charm of Fitzrovia writers and musicians alike have turned to the area for inspiration. Historical legends including Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Lennon have all lived, worked and flourished in this enriching neighbourhood.
The reputations of both Marylebone and Fitzrovia are well deserved. With its quaint storefronts and welcoming community, Marylebone is renowned for its village feel. Fitzrovia weaves historic sites and contemporary charm, creating a unique urban fabric.
Today, their differences are smaller but the subtleties remain. The roads that branch off Great Portland Street are home to everything from pubs to parks, florists to famous institutions; even a number of embassies are proud to call Portland Place their home away from home. Impressively individual but perfectly complementary, both areas offer central city living at its finest.

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.
