Part of an ambitious development at the site of the former BBC Television Centre in White City, The Helios provides a rare opportunity to live in an important landmark in British media history. Its grade II-listed features remain in place, while the area’s heritage is retained with the refurbishment of three of the Television Centre's historic studios, ensuring live audiences can continue to benefit from the institution. Not only will the residents of The Helios be able to take advantage of a 24-hour concierge, private lounge, screening room and meeting rooms but they will also have access to the House Gym, a new concept from private members’ club specialists Soho House. It comes kitted out with top-of-the-range exercise equipment, steam room, sauna and swimming pool, as well as offering a full range of beauty treatments.
