About St John's Wood
St John's Wood takes its name from the medieval Knights of St John who owned the land. Unlike most of London, the area was developed with spacious detached and semi-detached villas set in large gardens, giving it a distinctly suburban feel despite being just 2 miles from central London.
The area became famous globally when the Beatles recorded at Abbey Road Studios. The zebra crossing outside became an iconic image and remains a tourist attraction. Lord's Cricket Ground, the "Home of Cricket," has been located here since 1814.
Today's St John's Wood is one of London's most prestigious addresses, popular with international families, diplomats, and wealthy professionals. The area has excellent schools including the American School in London and Arnold House. High Street offers upmarket shopping and dining.
Properties command premium prices and owners expect the highest quality workmanship. Many buildings are in the St John's Wood Conservation Area, requiring sensitive renovation approaches.
