University Street, London, WC1E

A stylish apartment in Paramount Court. Next to the many colleges of the University of London, this 6th floor apartment in Paramount Court was designed by the RIBA architect practice Verity and Beverly in the mid 1930’s. They are also well-known for designing the Pavilion at Lord’s Cricket Ground. Paramount Court boasts a porter and a lift. The current owner has refreshed the apartment which comprises a generous reception room with dining area and open plan kitchen, large double bedroom and shower room. Its Central London location is super convenient with Tottenham Court Road underground and Elizabeth Line services as well as both Goodge Street and Warren Underground Stations a few minutes’ walk away. The building stands proudly on the corner of Tottenham Court Road and University Street, housing over one hundred apartments over seven floors, providing modern Central London living, yet retaining the historic feel of a bygone era with its iconic art deco style. It is a perfect example of Arts decorative, British modernism, with Bauhaus aesthetics as well as being once home to the famous Ballroom dance hall, that was a hot bed for the Jitterbug dance craze. Paramount Court occupies the site of the original Tottenham House, the home of The Shoolbred’s department store who manufactured quality antique furniture for the most illustrious Victorian homes, eventually receiving a Royal warrant in the 1880’s. You will be spoilt for choice with fine dining to street food, bars and an abundance of shopping locally on Charlotte Street, Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road as well as having the British Museum close by.
