7 and 8 Balfour Place, Grade II listed building in Mayfair, London, England
7 and 8 Balfour Place is a Grade II listed building at the corner of Mount Street in Mayfair, featuring Flemish and early Renaissance architectural details on its exterior facade. The property contains seven reception rooms, nineteen bedrooms, six kitchens, and seventeen bathrooms spread across multiple floors.
The houses were built between 1892 and 1894 by architects Eustace Balfour and Hugh Thackeray Turner. The structure received Grade II protection status in 1984.
The building displays influences from the Arts and Crafts movement in its architecture, with design elements typical of wealthy London homes from the late 19th century. The rooms reflect the wealth that its residents wanted to display.
The building stands at a busy corner in Mayfair and is easily accessible via the transportation connections on Mount Street. As a private listed structure, it is visible from outside but not open to the public.
The property was acquired in 2016 by British banker Peter Cruddas after previously belonging to art dealer Nasser Khalili. This recent change in ownership shows the building's continued appeal to wealthy collectors and business figures.
