About

First documented in 1851
The earliest record of the property now known as Chilworth Court (125-129 Gloucester Terrace), was the 1851 census when it was occupied by a lady called Matilda Syott who lived there with her daughter. It remained a private residence throughout the second half of the 19th Century and early 20th Century. Other wealthy residents who lived here include several East India merchants, other businessmen, a well-known solicitor and a high-ranking army officer.

First became a hotel in 70s
The building was first used as a privately owned hotel in the 1970s, listed as Casserly Court Hotel.

Became an aparthotel with serviced apartments in 2010
Following three years of renovation work, the newly refurbished Chilworth Court Apartments opened as serviced luxury apartments in May 2010. We have been welcoming guests since then!

In the 17th century the area was a little hamlet which featured a number of inns and buildings from the neighbouring Upton Farm. When still semi-rural in the early 1800s, the area attracted artistic and literary figures, including the poet Sarah Flower, writer Charles Dickens and composer Vincent Novello.

In the ten years between 1852 and 1862 a ‘great and aristocratic town’ had developed, apparently faster than all other London suburbs.

Today one of London’s most cosmopolitan areas, Bayswater’s population ranges from ancestral Britons to a sizeable Arab population towards Edgware Road, a large Greek community, Americans and London’s main Brazilian community.
