The Chimes, an Overview

Development

Situated in the heart of Westminster, Chimes is an exclusive collection of one, two-bedroom and large penthouse apartments, offering a convivial and sophisticated city lifestyle. Designed by award-winning architects, it offers luxurious homes with a wealth of amenities and social spaces. Close to the River Thames, Palace of Westminster and St James’s Park, Chimes is just moments from the great icons of London, putting you at the centre of political and cultural life.

Chimes is a new development in keeping with the architectural richness of its historic surroundings. Award-winning architects Mae have created a sense of distinguished seclusion, hidden from view on Horseferry Road, in London’s most prestigious neighbourhood. The building is beautifully designed with tiered top, middle and bottom green-glazed brickwork. The façade comprises champagne-bronze metalwork and full bay windows, which welcome light from their north-east facing position.  Built around a tranquil central courtyard, the two equal-height six-storey blocks are split into four quarters, reflecting Big Ben’s call at the quarter of each hour. The interior of Chimes is as distinctive as the exterior. Apartments are filled with light and generously proportioned, while the communal spaces open out onto the lush green courtyard through fully glazed doors. Bespoke design details and refined finishes create calm and contemporary spaces which cocoon you from the buzz of the city.

The roof terrace at Chimes is, quite literally, the pinnacle of this development. You’ll catch your breath as you step out onto the terrace and take in the glorious views over iconic Westminster landmarks. It is the perfect place to soak up the lively atmosphere of central London from a place of tranquillity, enjoying a glass of wine in the company of friends, or simply watching the world go by.

Lush foliage and scented planting create a truly uplifting environment and are thoughtfully planned to create landscaped corners and secluded spots to relax in. Garden furniture is arranged in a mix of sociable gatherings and smaller groups, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the roof terrace for all different occasions. Located on the ground floor, the gym is fitted with hand weights, full height mirrors, a barre bar and Pilates and yoga equipment. It is available to book for a range of fitness and strength classes at an additional cost so you can challenge your body in different ways, helping you to achieve optimal fitness and wellbeing.  Wellness is a central part of life at Chimes. With a gym on-site, ready for you to use, you can work out and get active at a time that suits you – whether that’s first thing in the morning or after a long day in the office.

Westminster is one of London’s most famous districts, with grand monuments and public buildings at almost every turn. It is also home to quiet residential streets, peaceful garden squares and some of London’s best and most inventive restaurants. Living at Chimes gives you the opportunity to embrace London life to the full. You are within walking distance from world-class cultural institutions such as The National Gallery, London Coliseum and Royal Opera House; the theatres of Covent Garden and Piccadilly; and the shopping of St James, Regent Street and Bond Street. Or for walks through acres of green and past flower beds of colourful abundance, the open spaces of St James’s Park, Green Park and Hyde Park are all close by. You are also just minutes from the River Thames, the lifeblood of the city.
