Property of the Week: a cultural icon and landmark piece of modern architecture, Television Centre was a factory for television and a powerhouse of creative broadcasting.
Its ambitious redesign, led by Stirling prize-winning architectural practice Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, reinvigorates and opens up this historic site with new homes and offices, a transformed forecourt with restaurants, a cinema, television studios, gymnasium with hammam, and a new hotel and members’ club from Soho House.
The Helios Courtyard’s double-height colonnade forms the entrance to the main residential lobby and apartments beyond, while in the courtyard stairs circling the golden statue ‘Helios’ descend to Television Centre’s expansive gymnasium, run by Soho House.
The residents’ lobby has welcomed many famous faces throughout Television Centre’s illustrious history, from heads of state to film stars and musical legends.
This unique space has been restored to its former glory, keeping key features like the original Grade II listed mosaic by British artist John Piper. Today it offers 24-hour concierge services to all Television Centre residents and their guests.
Television Centre is not just one of the most important redevelopments of a London landmark, it’s also an exciting place to live with a unique mix of amenities and activities. Your whole day can be spent on-site, from an early morning swim, coffee and lunch, to dinner and a show.
And with established west London areas including Notting Hill and Holland Park on your doorstep, the options are virtually limitless.
The circular block was designed with 400 offices for 3,000 people, dressing rooms for 600 artists, 7 studios, wardrobe for 16,000 items, laundry, hair salon, make-up and wig-making departments, script and music libraries, band practice room, and a telephone exchange.
Television Centre’s apartments include contemporary conversions and new architectural designs. The Helios Courtyard Apartments have been created from the historic core and overlook the famous centre courtyard, while the Garden Apartments and The Crescent with their expansive glazing and individual balconies and terraces overlook the private gardens, Hammersmith Park and West London.
The apartments at Television Centre have been designed with wellness in mind. Life is enriched with thoughtful additions, from peaceful outdoor spaces to the gymnasium with hammam and fitness studio. This overarching ethos for modern living applies to all homes at Television Centre.
Encircling The Helios, The Crescent is a separate collection of new apartments featuring large expanses of glazing and private balconies with views over either the internal landscaped gardens, historic Hammersmith Park – or both from dual-aspect apartments.
The contemporary apartments in the Crescent enjoy spacious balconies and full-height sliding doors, for a true sense of bringing the outdoors in.
