The square has also been home to other Bond alumni, including Sir Sean Connery.

Spread across the third and fourth floors, the three‑bedroom duplex offers an elegant reception room overlooking communal gardens. Residents enjoy amenities including a tennis court and an additional security team based in the square, making it an exceptional pied‑à‑terre or London family home.
