Location
The most prolific Art Deco architect, G. Kay Green designed Nell Gwynn House in 1937.
Kay Green wanted to create a building with not only aesthetic appeal. He was also concerned that each flat should have maximum light and the best use of available space within.
Taking inspiration from the fashionable art movement of the day -Cubism-, themes, patterns, materials and colours from exotic far-away lands were also utilised- the Egyptians, Aztecs and Mayans. The “W” shaped design of the building itself reflected the fashion for geometric designs and symmetry.
Its proximity to the fashionable shops and entertainment venues on the Kings Road, Knightsbridge, Sloane Street and South Kensington and number of bohemian artists, poets, and musicians who lived in the area, ensured that Nell Gwynn House soon became synonymous with glamour, fashion, good taste, and class.
Not only did each apartment have central heating – a luxury for the period, Nell Gwynn House proudly boasted a restaurant in the basement, a hairdressing salon and a bar for socialising in the reception/lobby area. In 1948 a music club opened, with Sir Adrian Boult. Sunday concerts were arranged for the benefit of residents and their guests and formed part of the Chelsea “Scene”.
In the swinging 60’s and into the 70’s, Nell Gwynn House became also the most luxurious locations in Europe to have a Pied-a-Terre.
Also in 1937, Country Life carried an advertisement for an apartment to rent -
"not have A distinctive flat in town? The Supreme choice : Nell Gwyinn House Chelsea's smartest building"
Nell Gwynn is within an easy walking distance of both South Kensington & Sloane Square underground stations and from there it's only a short commute to the West End, the City, Earls Court & the exhibition space at Olympia.
You will easily reach Buckingham Palace and affluent Knightsbridge with all of its fashionable stores and restaurants.
