Rare Two-bedroom Penthouse in the Historic Adelphi: Private Balconies, London Eye & The Shard Views, Secure Parking

John Adam House, 17–19 John Adam Street, Covent Garden, London WC2N 

A top-floor, two-bedroom furnished penthouse in the historic Adelphi quarter, with two private balconies, panoramic views to the London Eye and the Shard, a secure well-managed building, and a dedicated underground parking space, among the rarest amenities in the West End.

South-facing and filled with light, the apartment enjoys a rear balcony, accessible from each bedroom, with views towards the London Eye, placing the annual New Year’s Eve fireworks display within view from your own home. The front balcony of the apartment faces directly onto the Strand. Served by a lift to every floor, this boutique building of just twelve residences offers exceptional privacy in an otherwise vibrant neighbourhood. This stylish furnished penthouse combines contemporary design with practicality in one of London’s most central locations.

Accommodation

Bright, open-plan reception room with a fully integrated kitchen: modern appliances, ample storage, and elegant finishes. The two spacious double bedrooms provide a calm and comfortable retreat. The second bedroom also lends itself well to use as a home office or study. Contemporary bathroom and en-suite, both with full-sized bath, shower, and double basins. Private balconies to front and rear, and a dedicated underground parking space.

Minutes' walk to Covent Garden's restaurants and theatres, Victoria Embankment Gardens and the Thames, and Trafalgar Square — London is at your fingertips.

The Neighbourhood

The Strand traces the Thames along the southern edge of Covent Garden, linking the City with Westminster, and is home to Soho House at 180 Strand, an enclave of luxury residences, and a striking new public square beside King's College London. World-class theatres, riverside gardens and a rare village calm, all at the centre of the capital.

Covent Garden is on your doorstep: the Royal Opera House, the Royal Ballet, and the West End's most celebrated productions, minutes away on foot.

The address carries genuine pedigree. In the 1770s the Adam brothers created the Adelphi, an elegant quarter of neo-classical terraces whose name, Greek for "brothers", endures in John Adam Street. Its centrepiece, Robert Adam's Grade I-listed RSA House, still stands at No. 8. Few London homes unite heritage, culture and riverside calm so completely.
