Week 85 in London

Week 85: 14 – 20 November 2016

Roslyn had her staff conference on Monday morning at the Tower Hotel, across the river but within eyesight of the usual office.

She was excited at the prospect of having put forward as a nominee for the staff-voted Unsung Hero award. On this occasion a staff member from another department pipped her though.

Nevertheless, she felt chuffed to receive a personalised thank you letter from the CEO and accompanying £50 Amazon voucher (over here Amazon is a whole online shopping world, not just restricted to Kindles etc).


She went for dinner with Mel at On The Bab on Tuesday, a restaurant serving Korean street food.

Adam's 18th was on Thursday, the personalised beer stein having arrived safely and in time, with a humorously over-addressed card attached.

On Thursday, Brendan finally made it into one of the worlds most expensive and exclusive residential buildings, One Hyde Park. This contemporary development is arranged across four diamond shaped pavilions and is like a world of its own. Exceptional concierge services and lifestyle amenities must make any resident feel like they are living permanently in a five star hotel. Inside the particular apartment he visited, the stunning interior spaces were finished in dark tones with stone, timber and glass featuring. Looking at the floorplan on paper, the double storey half-diamond footprint of this circa 325 sq m apartment looks a bit awkward. In reality though, bespoke furnishings allow each room to be used to its maximum effect and add to the unparalleled experience. Everything is automated – lighting, heating/cooling, curtains, privacy screens and even the windows. At an asking rent price in excess of £10,000 per week, this apartment is unquestionably the finest property Brendan has ever seen.


To round out the week, on Friday there was a celebrity visit in Brendan’s office. Not knowing who may see this, strict rules about client confidentiality prevent disclosing a name. Lets call her Ms G. In the morning the team had been notified that at some point during the day the British singer would be coming into the office. After having sat pretty much glued to his desk, Brendan was a little devastated to later learn that he had missed Ms G. This despite the fact that she was in for a lettings matter and Brendan was the only member of the team in at that time. Somehow she had very quietly come in, been attended to by a member of the sales team and departed again without Brendan having seen or heard a thing.

Highlights for the week:
- Roslyn’s staff conference
- Personalised thank you letter from the CEO
- Roslyn’s dinner at On The Bab with Mel
- Brendan visited One Hyde Park
- Ms G in Brendan’s office
