A Home Steeped in History

8 Carlton Gardens is more than just a home; it is a Grade II listed building* with an unparalleled legacy. The property is steps away from Buckingham Palace and nestled in one of the most desirable areas in London. Over the years, the Carlton Gardens address has attracted some of the world’s most powerful figures, making the Mehtas part of an elite community.

Among their distinguished neighbors are:

  1. The British Foreign Secretary, who resides at 1 Carlton Gardens
  2. Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin, who made headlines with his purchase of 3 Carlton Gardens, the most expensive property in London

Adding to the property’s fascinating past, Marilyn Monroe herself once graced the penthouse, having been a guest of property developer and renowned art collector, Lord Palumbo, before the estate was acquired by the Mehta family. Originally purchased by Pia Mehta’s father IN LAW,  the property has since been inherited by her husband and his brother, solidifying its status as a generational treasure.
