Historic Retail Gallery Openings
RH Opened Its Five-Level Mayfair Gallery in a Palladian Mansion
RH has opened RH London, with the RH London Mayfair gallery unveiling five floors of architecture, design, dining and hospitality within one of the few surviving Palladian mansions in 18th-century London. Originally built in 1723 as Queensberry House and later home to the Bank of England, the landmark was designed by architect Giacomo Leoni and reimagined by Anouska Hempel and Foster + Partners.
The gallery features an Architecture & Design Library anchored by a rare 1521 edition of Vitruvius' De Architectura, a scenic glass lift framed in champagne gold, and two dining destinations. The Dining Room occupies the historic banking hall, while The Perch by Anouska Hempel offers a rooftop garden.
RH shows how historic architecture can be reimagined as an immersive retail destination that blends design, hospitality and cultural storytelling.
