Live in London’s most discreet address

Originally built by Sir William Chambers as a London mansion in 1771-74 for Lord Melbourne, Albany was later converted into bachelor apartments by architect Henry Holland in 1803.

These apartments were, and still are, referred to as ‘Sets’. This Grade I Listed Georgian building is historically linked with London’s elite and has been home to politicians, poets, authors, film stars and historians.

There are established rules that past and present occupants have to abide by which are set by a group of trustees, one of which is the discretion of those who live there. It is one of London’s most  exclusive and discreet addresses.

Albany Court is accessed through a narrow entry from Piccadilly, positioned to the side of the Royal Academy.

Set back and tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly, Albany is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. The 1,077 sq. ft one bedroom apartment has two spacious interconnecting reception rooms with fireplaces, ornate cornicing, large sash windows and parquet flooring. The porter provides 24 hour security.

Matthew Huybrechts, Director of Dexters in Mayfair said, “This is a rare chance to rent
a desirable Set in this remarkable Georgian building. Historically these apartments were reserved for London’s social elite and the secrecy surrounding the building only adds to the allure of the property.”
