About British Museum Penthouse

Looking for a standout spot in central London? This three-level penthouse overlooks the British Museum and mixes historic vibe with modern design. It’s great for private events, summer parties, or low-key corporate gatherings.

Highlights:
Rooftop terrace with museum views
Outdoor patio off the kitchen – perfect for drinks and mingling
Big open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge space
3 bedrooms + 3 bathrooms downstairs for private use
Mezzanine office space + rooftop access up top

Each room has its own vibe, with art and furniture picked by a well-known local designer. Just note—it's a Georgian townhouse with no lift, so stairs are involved.

It’s stylish, private, and has loads of character—ideal for events that feel personal, not corporate.
