Wimbourne House, Grade II* listed townhouse in St James's, Westminster, England

The Neo-Palladian townhouse stands at 22 Arlington Street with a west front overlooking Green Park and contains several grand reception rooms and function spaces.

Henry Pelham commissioned architect William Kent to design the house in 1743, and construction continued through 1754, marking a period of political influence.

The building reflects the architectural preferences of 18th-century British nobility through its symmetrical proportions, classical details, and formal reception spaces.

The property connects to the Ritz Hotel and provides specialized event rooms for private functions, celebrations, and corporate gatherings throughout the year.

Each successive owner modified the name of the house, from Beaufort House to Hamilton House, until Sir Ivor Bertie Guest established its current name Wimbourne House.
