The Owo, Whitehall, SW1
The OWO stands as a distinguished Edwardian baroque building, granted Grade II* listing, prominently located in the heart of London along Whitehall, directly facing Horse Guards. Previously serving as the Ministry of Defence headquarters, this historic structure once housed notable figures such as Winston Churchill and Lord Haldane. It also served as the inspiration for Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007 spy stories.

Currently undergoing meticulous restoration, The OWO is being revived to become a new focal point in central London. Its strategic location places it just moments away from the Royal Park of St. James’s, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, and Downing Street, all within easy walking distance. 1-5 bedroom residences available.

Constructed between 1886 and 1906 to serve as the Ministry of Defence headquarters, this Edwardian marvel in the Baroque style holds the distinguished Grade II* listing. Following an extensive £1.4 billion forensic restoration, it has transformed into a residence comprising 85 private units, complemented by a 120-room 5-star Raffles hotel and an array of 12 bars and restaurants. The colossal undertaking, involving 25 million bricks and 26,000 tons of stone across a sprawling 71,000 sqm, reflects the ambitious vision of the Hinduja Group.
