Introducing 100 Kensington – a landmark £500 million vertical village that will redefine the West London skyline, the only development of its kind in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Creating 462 new homes, including 276 market sale residences, this visionary scheme is being delivered by leading developers SevenCapital and MARK Capital Management. Together they are redefining modern urban living, blending history, design excellence and community, into a truly exceptional address.

Set on a 1.7-hectare site that was once part of Oliver Cromwell’s hunting grounds and later Prince Albert’s ‘Albertopolis’ vision, the area will now be transformed into a thriving, dynamic residential quarter just minutes from Holland Park, Kensington High Street and London’s Museum Quarter.

The masterplan for 100 Kensington was created by John McAslan & Partners, with detailed design by Corstorphine & Wright, harmonising seven buildings into a stunning new urban oasis. The architecture draws upon Kensington’s rich Victorian and Edwardian traditions, while embracing contemporary modernity, forming a striking new architectural gateway to Kensington.

At its heart is a 29-storey tower, the tallest residential structure in the borough, accompanied by six other meticulously crafted buildings bisected by a linear central garden, with further roof gardens and terraces.

The residences at 100 Kensington are designed for discerning occupants, with Conran & Partners curating interior concepts inspired by local culture and heritage. Ranging from 540 sq. ft. to 1,776 sq. ft. these thoughtfully crafted homes offer a variety of layouts, from studio apartments to expansive three-bedroom duplex penthouses.

Buyers can expect meticulous attention to detail: herringbone timber floors, coffered ceilings with feature lighting, and dual-aspect reception rooms that open onto Juliet or step-out balconies. Full-height windows bathe each space in natural light, revealing sweeping views of the London skyline.

Kitchens provide a refined take on the classic shaker style, featuring Caesarstone worktops, luxury appliances and bespoke timber veneer cabinetry. In select apartments, utility rooms add a level of convenience rarely found in central London developments.

Principal bedrooms continue the theme of luxury, offering plush carpeting, custom-built wardrobes, and ensuite bathrooms that rival five-star hotels with large-format marble effect porcelain tiles, rainfall showers and bespoke vanity units. Every inch designed for both form and function.

Residents enter the self-contained vertical village through a soaring seven-metre-high lobby on the third-level podium, ensuring enhanced privacy and security. Here, concierge services and a stylish residents’ lounge set the tone for the experience that lies ahead.

The stunning central linear garden, 173 metres long and 18 metres wide, acts as the green heart of 100 Kensington in addition to being a space in which residents can relax and engage. Created by award-winning landscape architects IDP, the garden includes pathways, ornamental planting, sculpture by artist David Harber, and seasonal flower displays.

Elevated amenities are a key hallmark of the scheme. A glass-walled pavilion accommodates up to 60 guests for cinema screenings or private events, while a wellness-focused leisure centre provides a gym, 20-metre swimming pool, and fitness studios, all available to residents.

The central tower showcases a stone-like façade with chamfered windows for solar shading, Juliet balconies and perforated aluminium panels for natural ventilation. The three mansion buildings echo historical Kensington residences with brick facades, stone banding and inset balconies, while the stepped façade buildings fronting Beckford Close bring variation and rhythm to the streetscape.

100 Kensington will also deliver a meaningful contribution to the local community, providing 186 affordable homes, including family-sized townhouses. High-quality design and workmanship throughout the development and integration of tenures, supports a genuinely inclusive urban community.

Situated within a 10-minute walk of Earl’s Court, West Kensington, and Kensington Olympia stations, 100 Kensington offers enviable connectivity. Cultural institutions like the V&A, Natural History Museum, and Science Museum are moments away, while a range of retail and dining locations are all within easy access. From the vibrancy of buzzing Kensington High Street and South Kensington to the luxury fashion and fine dining of Knightsbridge, residents are spoilt for choice.

Potential residents can immerse themselves in 100 Kensington and experience fine apartment living, by visiting the 100 Kensington marketing suite at Kensington High Street. Visitors will find a tabletop model that sets out the scheme clearly, supported by an interactive digital presentation that allows visitors to admire not only the layout out and design, but also the views. A full-scale show apartment is also available to view, replicating the exact finishes and design details of the completed market sale apartments.

Prices range from £895,000 to £5 million, with completion expected summer 2027. The 100 Kensington Marketing Suite is located at 154-158 Kensington High Street, London, W8 7RL and is open 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm Saturday and 11am to 3pm Sunday.
