Betterton Street, London, WC2H

Originally constructed as a power station in 1886, this striking industrial building in the heart of Seven Dials once housed the generators that powered the dazzling carbon arc lighting of the Royal Adelphi Theatre on the Strand.

Today, the building has been carefully transformed into an exceptional collection of loft-style apartments. Each home is finished to a high contemporary standard while preserving distinctive architectural features that reflect its industrial past.

A two-storey extension has been sensitively designed to sit back from the original structure, forming a gentle curve that offers a subtle contrast to the clean lines and symmetry of the windows and columns below. Expansive full-height glazing enhances the design, opening onto a generous roof terrace with views across the surrounding neighbourhood.

Residents are welcomed through a secure entrance hall featuring an elegant oak timber feature wall made up of modern end-grain block panels, with lift access to all floors. The building benefits from 24-hour on-site security shared with the neighbouring property.

Throughout both the apartments and communal areas, finishes are of a premium standard, including oiled oak flooring, bespoke modern kitchens with Silestone quartz worktops, and integrated Siemens appliances.
The bright and spacious double bedrooms include soft wool-blend carpeting and custom-built wardrobes, along with double-glazed, energy-efficient steel-framed windows. The front elevation incorporates Crittall-style glazing, paying tribute to the building’s heritage. Each apartment also includes climate-controlled air conditioning and underfloor heating for added comfort.

Bathrooms feature a sleek, contemporary design, balanced by warm natural tones, with Bluestone tumbled marble mosaic tiles and stylish brass fittings by Hansgrohe.
Hidden away yet full of character, Seven Dials’ cobbled streets offer a village-like atmosphere in the centre of London. Together with nearby Covent Garden, the area provides an abundance of well-known brands, independent boutiques, restaurants, bars, and artisan cafés.
