In short: The Lancasters is a super-prime apartment building at 75–89 Lancaster Gate in Bayswater, overlooking Hyde Park. It was created from a mid-19th-century terrace of 15 stucco-fronted, Grade II listed houses: the interiors were rebuilt behind the retained French Renaissance-style façade, one of the longest in London at around 407 feet. Developed by Northacre (initially with Minerva) to designs by Nilsson Architects, it has 77 apartments, most facing south towards the park. Fraser Bond helps buyers, tenants and owners at The Lancasters and across W2.

About The Lancasters

Supporting the retained façade during construction took around 11 months and some 500 tonnes of steel. The result combines period architecture on the outside with modern lateral apartments inside.

Its position directly opposite Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, with Paddington's Elizabeth line a short walk away, makes it one of the most sought-after addresses in W2.
