Stanhope House, Grade II listed building in City of Westminster, England
Stanhope House is a four-story building with a basement and dormer windows, built with Forest of Dean sandstone and slate roofing. The facade displays ornate Gothic decorations and stands three windows wide, with an extension featuring an entrance porch and stone bay windows.
The building was constructed between 1899 and 1901 by architects Romaine Walker and Besant during the late Victorian period. It received Grade II listed status in 1958, recognizing its architectural importance.
The interior mixes Gothic details in the entrance hall with neoclassical styles in the main first floor rooms. The ornate plasterwork on the ceilings shows the craftsmanship that visitors can observe throughout the space.
The building sits in Westminster and is accessible by public transportation in the area. Since this is a listed heritage building with restricted access, visitors should check availability before planning a visit.
The house once served as headquarters for Philips Electrical's UK record division and contained a recording studio in the basement where artists worked. This phase as a music production hub is largely forgotten today despite its role in the record industry.
