The Peninsula Residences London

The residences

BrandThe name licensed to this project and carried on the building. A brand is not a company: it holds no title, builds nothing and runs nothing.

The Peninsula

Brand typeThe business the brand comes from — hotel, fashion, design, automotive, restaurant, club, or a developer’s own name.

Hotel

ResidencesHow many separately titled homes this project sells, counting every kind it sells. Where it sells more than one kind, each is named and its own count given.

24reportedThe count moved from 26 to 24 in sequence rather than in dispute: the building record and the developer-side listing carry 26 apartments, and the 2024 trade report states the inventory was reduced when two buyers each bought two apartments to combine. Bedroom range taken from the residence sizes given as 1,700 sq ft for one bedroom to 5,500 sq ft for four.

Residence typesThe kinds of home offered — villas, condos, penthouses, lots — and how they break down. Not how many, and not what interest is sold.

1–4BR lateral residences, 1,700–5,500 sq ft, with secure underground parking

What you buyThe interest a buyer takes: whole ownership, a share of one residence, or a right to use it.

Whole ownership

SettingWhether a hotel shares the site, the building is mixed-use, or it is residences only.

Hotel on site

PriceThe published asking range or entry price.

GBP 27.95MreportedGuide price for Residence 12, a 4,296 sq ft three-bedroom on the fourth floor. It is a single available residence rather than a development entry price.

AnnouncedWhen the project was first made public.

The building record dates The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited's purchase of a 50% interest in the lease to 2013 and the buyout of Grosvenor to 2016, and names no date on which the project was first made public.

Sales openedWhen its residences were first released for sale.

The 2024 trade report states that 80 per cent of residences had sold in the five years since the development came to market off-plan, giving no release date.

Construction startedWhen ground was broken on the site.

2017reportedThe building record dates construction starting on site to summer 2017; it gives a season rather than a month.

HandoverWhen the residences were handed over to buyers.

No opened page states when the residences were handed over. The selling agent lists a completed residence for resale and gives no handover date.
