In the annals of opulence, The Whiteley London stands as a testament to indefatigable ambition and the pursuit of grandeur
Conceived over a century ago by the visionary William Whiteley, this storied establishment emerged as London’s inaugural department store—a global emporium of unrivaled sensory delights—a monument to the boundless spirit of British entrepreneurship.
In the year 1851, a young luminary from Yorkshire, aged but twenty, ventured to the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, there to be stirred by visions of extravagance hitherto unseen. With naught but ten pounds in his pocket, he returned to London four years hence, resolute in his mission to turn vision into reality.
The year 1863 bore witness to the birth of Whiteleys, initially a modest drapery shop nestled at 31 Westbourne Grove. Yet, in the span of but four years, it burgeoned into a colossus of commerce, its customer base expanding steadily. By 1867, it spanned a row of shops along Westbourne Grove, boasting a staggering seventeen distinct departments. William Whiteley, the audacious founder, declared with unwavering confidence that he could furnish anything from a pin to an elephant—a bold proclamation that left even the most skeptical of clergymen astounded, when, precisely at 4 pm on the day of his order, an unexpectedly sizable delivery graced his stables.
The year 1872 marked an epochal milestone, as the establishment diversified into dressmaking, followed by forays into the realms of house agency and refreshment rooms. It swiftly garnered acclaim as “an immense symposium of the arts and industries of the nation and of the world.”
In 1896, an unsolicited Royal Warrant from none other than Queen Victoria herself, an accolade unparalleled in its rarity, bestowed distinction upon Whiteleys. Another Royal Warrant would later grace the establishment, this time bestowed by the venerable King George V.
Following a fire that razed the original structure, Whiteleys emerged anew, more resplendent than ever. With the passing of its indomitable founder, the board resolved to relocate to a purpose-built emporium on Queensway, then christened ‘Queens Road.’ Designed by the esteemed architects John Belcher RA and J J Joass, the new store, inaugurated on the auspicious day of 2nd November 1911, was hailed as “the largest shop in the world,” “the most beautiful store in the United Kingdom,” and “perfect in every detail of Architecture, Equipment, and Service.”
The years 1925 to 1927 witnessed a transformation of the store’s façade, culminating in the iconic visage that graces us today. It was during this period that the illustrious American entrepreneur, Harry Gordon Selfridge, renowned for founding the rival Selfridges on Oxford Street, assumed ownership.
In the year 1961, United Drapery Stores, a British retail juggernaut that held sway over the high streets from the ’50s to the ’80s, acquired Whiteleys for a princely sum of £1,750,000.
Fast forward to September 2013, and the store exchanged hands once more, finding itself under the discerning ownership of Meyer Bergman.
Then came the turning of the page in December 2018, as Whiteleys closed its doors, poised for a metamorphosis befitting its illustrious history. In tandem, Meyer Bergman embarked on the regeneration of Queensway Parade, a majestic counterpart to The Whiteley building.
Now, in the dawning year of 2023, The Whiteley heralds a new era, poised to realize the grand vision of its founder, William Whiteley. It stands as a global nexus in one of the world’s oldest cities, offering a design for life steeped in the principles of modern luxury. This, dear connoisseurs of refinement, is not merely a redevelopment—it is a rebirth of opulence, a symphony of prosperity that invites you to be part of its illustrious narrative.
