St John's Wood Square homes listed from £5.25m, averaging over 3,260 sq ft

What happened

St John's Wood Square, a 120-home development on a former barracks site in London's St John's Wood, has list prices from £5.25m for a two-bedroom residence, according to Spear's on 9 October 2026. The homes are apartments, duplexes, penthouses and townhouses.

Completion is scheduled from 2028, and Knight Frank and Savills are leading sales.

Size is the pitch. Spear's says homes in the scheme average more than 3,260 sq ft, with some above 8,000 sq ft. Westminster introduced a cap of 200 sq m (about 2,000 sq ft) on the size of new-build homes in 2021. Spear's describes the scheme as one of the last in the capital to receive planning permission.

Real Asset Insight reported in April 2021 that the limit applies to new residential developments and that the rules are set to last until 2040.

It said new units over 200 sq m were seen as an ineffective use of land, and that the policy was likely to have notable implications for the prime and super-prime residential sector. The same article said the rules gave large units rarity value.

The site covers 5.5 acres just north of St John's Wood High Street and was previously occupied by St John's Wood Barracks. Spear's says Ananda Krishnan bought it for £250m in 2011. EPR Architects describes the masterplan as ten buildings, including mansion blocks and townhouses, on a 2.2-hectare site.

Amenities include a restored, Grade II-listed riding school built in 1825, which houses much of the scheme's 40,000 sq ft of health and fitness space, and 2.6 acres of landscaped gardens. For now only one residence is available to view, Spear's said.
