Setting the scene

Vincent Square may not be well known to many Londoners but its unique qualities of peace and tranquillity are much appreciated by those lucky enough to be living there. Leaving behind the bustle of Vauxhall Bridge Road and Rochester Row, the mood changes as one enters the Square. The imposing presence of mature London plane trees helps slow the tempo around the 13 acres (5 hectares) of private playing fields. The well-tended cricket pitches and tennis courts, and lack of through traffic create a calmer atmosphere. The sound of willow striking leather on a summer afternoon reminds us that life - and English cricket - goes on regardless, wherever we are.

Originally part of the Rochester Row Police Station and Magistrates Court and now known as Number 68, this building was completely re-constructed as a quality residential development less than 20 years ago. This development is now regarded as one of the most prestigious residential addresses in Westminster.

On being greeted by the Concierge in the spacious reception and visitors lounge of 68 Vincent Square, the first impressions are of high standards and good order.

The only way to fully appreciate the privacy, tranquillity and seclusion of this delightful property is by arranging a personal viewing via the sole selling agents, Fine & Country Belgravia
