Portland Chambers is ideally situated close to two new Crossrail stations, at Bond Street and Tottenham Court Road. Crossrail, London’s new east-west rail link, is scheduled to open in May 2018 and will reduce journey times from Fitzrovia to 40 key destinations, including Heathrow (26 minutes) and Canary Wharf (12 minutes).

a h om e f u ll o f h i sto ry
According to historians, Portland Chambers was constructed during the 1740s – just 30 years after the completion of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Great Titchfield Street, which Portland Chambers overlooks, was first charted on a map in 1746, by the famous French cartographer John Roque. The street was subsequently developed as a residential area by the Dukes of Portland and the Marquesses of Titchfield across the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1982, in recognition of the area’s architectural heritage, Great Titchfield Street was officially protected as a “Conservation Area” by the City of Westminster. Look up and you will see evidence of Portland Chambers’ illustrious 250-year history at every turn.

Despite its eminent history and splendid architecture, Fitzrovia remains one of central London’s better kept secrets. Set back from the bustle of the West End, it has an atmosphere that is simultaneously relaxed and refined: its elegant streets are studded with independent boutiques, Parisian-style cafés and no fewer than six Michelin-starred restaurants. Earlier this year, in recognition of its unique character and growing status, The Sunday Times newspaper crowned Fitzrovia “the best place to live in London”.
