The OWO Residences by Raffles is an iconic luxury development located in the heart of Whitehall, London, within the historic landmark of the Old War Office. Steps away from the River Thames, St James’s Park, and the Houses of Parliament, this Grade II* listed masterpiece has been meticulously restored by the Hinduja Group in collaboration with world-renowned design teams.
Blending Edwardian architectural grandeur with contemporary luxury living, the project marks Raffles’ first-ever branded residences in Europe and the only integrated Raffles hotel and residences in London. The building’s illustrious history includes figures such as Winston Churchill and T.E. Lawrence, whose presence has shaped its legacy.
