WatchHouse is ready to introduce its latest House in the heart of Marble Arch. On the 2nd September 2024, WatchHouse Marble Arch opened its doors and offers a striking blend of modernist design and a welcoming retreat for the bustling streets of London.
Nestled just a stone’s throw from Hyde Park and Marble Arch Tube station, WatchHouse Marble Arch stands as a testament to the seamless blend of history and contemporary design. The space captures the essence of the area’s rich architectural legacy with its dark timber panelling, striking burnt terracotta-hued tiles, and bespoke glass shelving. Whether you’re seeking solace after a long stroll in the park or looking for a place to gather with friends, this House offers the perfect balance of comfort and style. WatchHouse will be joining a vibrant community managed by The Portman Estate, known for its blend of independent boutiques, high-end retailers, and a rich cultural scene that defines this distinctive part of London’s West End.
Roland Horne, Founder and CEO of WatchHouse, is particularly excited about this new chapter for the brand. “Marble Arch has always been a gateway to the heart of London, and now, it’s a gateway to something even more—a space where coffee and community intersect. Our Marble Arch House embodies everything we stand for, from our commitment to beautifully crafted spaces to our dedication to serving our guests with care and expertise. It is cosy, intimate which is the perfect combo for our experience.”
The interior panelling creates a layer of Modernist reference against the original brick structure, entwining the two key references for the design. Visitors to the house get a visual sense of the varied architectural history of the area, the revealing of the original and addition of the new,” says Deidra Hodgson, designer of WatchHouse Marble Arch.
Whether you’re grabbing a coffee before a day of shopping on Oxford Street or meeting friends after a visit to Hyde Park, this House invites you to take a moment, slow down, and enjoy the experience. With a mix of cosy seating areas, both indoors and out, it’s set to become a neighbourhood favourite.
