The Augustus Penthouse offers an exclusive opportunity to acquire a luxury home at Roman House,
the City of London’s premier residential location.

and international lifestyles demand.
A boutique hotel lifestyle can be enjoyed here, within walking distance of the square mile’s renowned restaurants,

Welcome to a new style of City living
A WINDOW ON EXCLUSIVITY
For centuries, the City has been home to retailers of traditional, bespoke and hand crafted goods, and many shops specialising in these items still flourish, showcasing British and international design at its best.
Within the City of London you are able to purchase some of the world’s most revered brands and labels in clothing, accessories, stationery, travel goods, perfumery, food and wine. Many of these can now be sourced in a single place: One New Change, which has restaurants and a spectacular roof terrace too.
From The Augustus Penthouse these luxuries are all available within a short stroll, making personal shopping a delightfully relaxed experience.

A LOOK AT LUXURY
Luxury shopping in London is no longer the preserve of the West End. Every desirable label can now be found in the City too, particularly within the elegant setting of the Royal Exchange. Founded in 1566 and favoured by Queen Elizabeth l, The Royal Exchange was the City’s first purpose-built shopping centre and is now its foremost luxury retail and restaurant destination.
It is home to some of the most exclusive retailers of clothing, perfumery, jewellery and accessories. Bulgari, Church’s, Jo Malone London, Gucci, Hermes, Dolce & Gabbana, Lulu Guinness, Smythson, Theo Fennell, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co and Paul Smith are just some of the illustrious names vying for your attention.
As well as the boutiques, the Grand Café at the Royal Exchange is a spectacular setting for a glass of champagne or a cocktail, or for enjoying first class dining in the upper galleries.

VIBRANT BARS AND CAFéS
When you want to celebrate a business deal, entertain clients, or just remind yourself that you are living in one of the world’s most important cities, you will find a venue for every occasion in and around the Square Mile.
As City buildings climb ever higher, they provide some dramatic settings for dining. At Vertigo42 and Le Coq D’Argent, you can enjoy the finest food, champagne and cocktails whilst enjoying panoramic views. However, even these are dwarfed by Sushisamba, a Japan-Brazil-Peru fusion bar and restaurant on the 38th floor of the Heron Tower, and, literally topping them all, The Duck and Waffle, a British-European restaurant dizzyingly situated on the 40th floor of the same building.

The finest dining
As a truly global city, London is renowned for the quality and variety of its restaurants, with an astonishing sixty-four Michelin star establishments and some of the world’s most exciting cuisines.
The City of London, catering for a discerning and multi-national clientele, has a particularly enticing restaurant scene, which includes the Michelin-starred Club Gascon and Galvin La Chapelle.
Within easy walking distance from Roman House are L’Anima, praised for its southern Italian cooking; Hawksmoor Guildhall, specialising in superb steak; quintessentially Chinese cuisine at Goldfish City; and elegant Indian food at Mehek.
14 15
TIME FOR TRANQUILLITY
London is famous for its garden squares, many planned along classical lines and meticulously well kept. The City, in particular, has a surprising 200 acres of green space, and those who live and work in the Square Mile can discover little oases around almost every corner.
Adjacent to Roman House is one of the City’s most fascinating small parks, St Alphage Garden. It contains one of the few surviving sections of the Roman wall which once encircled London, and which now inspires the interior design of Roman House.
This inviting urban oasis, which can be seen from the terrace of The Augustus Penthouse, is a special retreat from the City buzz. Benches line the Roman wall, surrounded by mature trees, well kept traditional lawns and gently splashing fountains, while classical statuary and sculptures add a note of elegance.

AN UNPARALLELED LIVING EXPERIENCE
On arrival at Roman House, you are immediately aware of entering an extraordinarily privileged environment. It is the impression conveyed by the grandeur of the entrance lobby, with its classically lettered wall sculpture, concierge desk and bespoke furnishings.
As the lift speeds you up to the eighth floor, the location of The Augustus Penthouse, expectations are raised further, and are confirmed immediately as you step through your front door - this is a truly exceptional property.
Residents at Roman House have exclusive access to a concierge service and a fully equipped gymnasium, both essential for a demanding international lifestyle.
