Whether it’s a weekday pied a terre or a first home in a new city, sometimes it just makes more sense to rent – but that doesn’t mean you need sacrifice on quality, style or location. In fact, when it comes to the Buckingham Green rental development, you’d be hard-pressed to find any property which offers a better mix of all three.

Managed by London property expert JLL, the full Buckingham Green development spans a series of residential, retail and commercial space, with 64 luxurious apartments located across 11 floors of a show-stopping new 16-storey tower.

The mixed-purpose design of the development means it functions as a community in its own right but its location, between the serene surrounds of St James’s Park, the restaurants and boutiques of Victoria Street and the historic sites of Buckingham Palace to the west and the Palace of Westminster to the east, means you’re never more than a few minutes from the best London has to offer.

There are also excellent transport connections to Knightsbridge and Sloane Street for commuters (or avid shoppers) while the soothing sight of the Thames is only a few minutes walk away. Not sure where to start? Simply call on the development’s 24-hour residents’ concierge for advice. This is what they mean when they say you’re at the heart of the action.

Inside, each of the one- to four-bedroom apartments features a unique layout, with each designed to maximise natural light and views thanks to external walls featuring side-by-side floor-to-ceiling windows to bring the outside in. Each apartment comes fully furnished (ideal for those looking for a hassle-free turnkey option), with interior design throughout by the renowned TH2 studio.

Key to the interior design scheme is bespoke furnishings inspired by the seasonal transitions of St James’s Park and the ethereal Ginko tree planted outside the building. Select your favourite from the distinct spring, summer, autumn and winter colour schemes and marvel at the way TH2 has adapted its signature urban and contemporary style to create apartments that feel warm, welcoming and miles away from the characterless, cookie-cutter rental homes you may be used to.

And, when it comes to fixtures and fittings, you can rest assured that no expense has been spared. Every apartment features underfloor heating, comfort cooling and gorgeous oak timber flooring while Miele kitchen appliances, Crestron intelligent control lighting systems and finishings from the likes of Franke, Dornbracht, Duravit and Bette come as standard.
