AN ELEGANTLY RENOVATED HISTORICAL MANSION WITH BUCKINGHAM PALACE AT ITS DOORSTEP
Selwyn House, its design attributed to the renowned architect Norman Shaw, is located in the very fashionable and established district of St.James, home to the National Gallery and St. James Palace. Sitting in prestigious Cleveland Row, an address steeped in royal and political history, and surrounded by celebrated landmarks such as Bridgewater House, Lancaster house and St.James Palace, this noble manor offers a glimpse into the ceremonial and aristocratic traditions of central London.
FIVE CENTURIES OF HISTORY ON ONE ST. JAMES'S SITE.
DETACHED. UNLISTED. METICULOUSLY RESTORED. PROFOUNDLY PROTECTED.
With its origins dating from the 17th century, Selwyn House has been rebuilt and restored and yet remains unlisted — exceptionally rare for a detached Building of Merit standing within the St. James's Conservation Area. Owing to its proximity to St. James Palace, the street it stands on is secured and subject to government and royal oversight, giving it a serene, sheltered feel for central London.
THE SELWYN NAME, SINCE 1694
The site carries recorded associations with figures including John Evelyn and Samuel Pepys.
The name Selwyn House was adopted in 1939, when Cleveland Square was incorporated with Cleveland Row.
INFINITE BEAUTY, ABOVE AND BELOW

Location
At the edge of Green Park
Selwyn House sits within the St. James's Conservation Area, adjacent to Green Park and close to the entrance of St. James' Place.
The surrounding St. James's and Mayfair streets bring together galleries, restaurants, hotels, shops and members' clubs, with Green Park station — Piccadilly, Jubilee and Victoria lines — very close to the property.
