Inside a Grade II Listed Converted St. Saviours House in Knightsbridge, London

Saint Saviours was originally designed in 1838 by celebrated Architect George Besevi whose other notable works include the design of properties located in Belgrave Square, Pelham Crescent and Thurloe Square.

In early 2010, Rigby & Rigby commenced a major redevelopment program of St Saviours House and whilst the important architectural features have been preserved, the property has undergone full redesign and refurbishment with the emphasis on reinstating the extraordinary volume in the principle rooms.

The property has been extended from 8,605 sq.ft to 11,505 sq.ft to create the perfect balance of formal and informal reception rooms and lavish bedroom suites.

The focal point of the house is the magnificent drawing room that boasts 42ft vaulted ceilings, original stone pillars and oak beams that flank the specially commissioned stone staircase which ascends around the bronze and glass lift.

A generous lower ground floor was created to provide an indulgent and opulent leisure suite including a swimming pool, spa, treatment room, gymnasium and media suite.

Saint Saviours House is now undeniably one of the finest private houses in Knightsbridge.
