Two-bedroom flat, The Helios, London
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.

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.
