The building is next to Connaught Square, where former Prime Minister Tony Blair lives, with the visible presence of two armed policemen at all times, so it’s a very safe place to live, he said.

The five-bedroom apartment was renovated about five years ago, and "there are lovely period details, including impressive mouldings and cornicing and paneled entertaining rooms," Mr. White said. Other details include marble fireplaces, a marble-tiled entrance lobby, under-floor heating in the bathrooms and Murano glass chandeliers.
The home offers a wealth of entertaining space, including grand lobby areas and four paneled reception rooms with oak parquet flooring.
The master bedroom suite overlooks Hyde Park and includes his-and-her dressing rooms and bathrooms. The four remaining bedrooms are spacious, with large custom-designed wardrobes.
There are four handsome marble-lined bathrooms with porcelain suites and bespoke mirrored vanity units. Three are en-suite, containing either a free-standing bath or a walk-in power shower or a combination of both.
