Description
Sir Winston Churchill once said, 'we shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us'. It is a statement perhaps written with the Old War Office in mind.
Standing proudly on Whitehall, alongside London's great ceremonial route, this is a building that shaped not just a nation, but the world.
Behind the Edwardian Baroque architecture and ornate Portland stone façades rests a place where great statesmen, brilliant minds and tacticians made choices that altered the course of human history.
And now, today, we find new change. Not by the actions borne from its great alabaster halls, but to the very building itself. Put simply, it now becomes The OWO. A place worthy of those who graced its grandeur in earlier times. With unmatched elegance, calm and security, it will give rise to a collection of homes without equal - The OWO Residences by Raffles.
Its hallowed rooms will host world-class dining, bars and experiences, complete with London's first Raffles Hotel. A place full of life and great joy, home only to a select few. A fitting tribute to its extraordinary history.
Location
The OWO occupies a privileged position on Whitehall, at the eastern edge of St James’s. Strolling its broad pavements is to experience days of old; a throwback to London’s regency grandeur.
It is home to some of the city’s most established specialist shops, well-versed in serving royalty, alongside venerable institutions: from Christie’s and the Royal Academy, to innumerable members’ clubs.
Today, the old guard is joined by a new generation of restaurants, boutiques, galleries and clubs, from White Cube to the cutting-edge Dover Street Market.
This is one of the world’s few great places that remain untouched by generic luxury. It is all the more precious for it.
Square Footage: 1,999 sq ft
Leasehold with approximately 243 years remaining.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
