London’s last piano factory goes under the hammer

Now a fully-modernised private mansion with interiors by Hubert Zandberg, this Portland Place townhouse starred in a Hitchcock movie and served as a dictator's London base.

Built as the entrance-way to Rutland House, this unique property provides a pied-à-terre apartment and office space with a private cobbled courtyard, moments from The Ritz.

This grand Bayswater property was marketed at £6.5mn, and boasts two Blue Plaques marking its place in Britain's comedy history.
