About this property
A rare two-bed lateral flat on Villiers Street with Thames and Embankment Gardens views. Rich literary history on a site linked to Kipling, Pepys and Bacon. Steps from Covent Garden, Embankment and the South Bank.
Kipling House rises on a site whose story stretches back to 1237, when it was home to Norwich House, the London residence of the Bishop of Norwich. Built in 1995–96 on the former home of Rudyard Kipling, the address carries a literary and aristocratic pedigree few London addresses can match. The land later passed to George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham — whose name still marks the surrounding streets — before becoming home to Samuel Pepys, and a later building on the site was the birthplace of Francis Bacon.
