South Western House is a Grade II listed building, which was originally built in 1865. The property is a historic landmark in the old dockland area of Southampton with some of the most momentous events of modern times. The hotel was acquired by the London and South Western Railway Company in 1871 with the hotel built over the ends of the railway lines. In 1912 many wealthy people stayed here before embarking on the Titanic. South Western House was then converted in recent years by Berkeley Homes Ltd and Bayview Homes into well-proportioned/luxurious apartments. It has panoramic views of the water and Queens Park; easy access to the M27 and the city centre. Oxford Street is within walking distance and has many vibrant restaurants and bars. Southampton Central and Parkway railway stations provide a fast and convenient route to London Waterloo and the New Forest.
