Description
Built in 1860 on the site of the famed Bear Pit—immortalised in Samuel Pepys’ diaries—this extraordinary property still rests above remnants of the original bear garden, providing a tangible link to the city’s storied past.
Spread over 2,662 sq ft, the home unfolds across two beautifully arranged floors. The ground floor hosts four generous double bedrooms, including a superb principal suite, alongside stylish bathrooms and a separate utility room. The lounge at the front of the house provides an inviting retreat, its generous proportions ideal for relaxed living or entertaining.
Upstairs, the showpiece open-plan reception room and kitchen stretches nearly 40 feet in length, with exposed timber beams and a vaulted ceiling that celebrate the building’s heritage while bathing the space in natural light. Sleek cabinetry and modern finishes contrast elegantly with the period detailing, creating a striking contemporary aesthetic. Bi-fold doors open onto a private terrace, perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks.
A home of genuine character and craftsmanship, Pepys House is more than a place to live — it’s a chance to own an authentic piece of London’s past, beautifully reimagined for modern life.
Perfectly positioned on Park Street, SE1, Pepys House lies in the heart of Bankside, one of London’s most historic and culturally vibrant districts. Just moments from Shakespeare’s Globe, Tate Modern, and the River Thames, the location offers a quintessential London lifestyle surrounded by art, theatre, and fine dining. Enjoy the buzz of Borough Market, relaxed riverside walks, and an array of acclaimed restaurants, cafés, and wine bars all within easy reach.
Transport connections are outstanding, with London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, and National Rail) around eight minutes’ walk away, Blackfriars and Southwark stations also nearby, and Bank, the City, and the West End accessible in under 15 minutes.
Combining rich history, cultural energy, and modern convenience, Park Street places you at the centre of London living—moments from the Thames, yet tucked within a peaceful, character-filled enclave of Southwark.
