Wallacea Living is on a mission to debunk the many myths surrounding retirement living by inviting you to come along and see its community for yourself.
Could this be the route to having the time of your later life?
Paul Morgan, CEO at Wallacea Living, thinks so. “I strongly believe that Integrated Retirement Communities, also known as IRCs, offer an unbeatable lifestyle choice for the over 65s.
“They are not care homes or old-people communities; far from it.
“Each homeowner has their own front door and maintains their independence, while at the same time having access to fantastic onsite amenities and events; all of which are designed to put your health and wellbeing first.
“It’s time for people to start believing that their later years can be their best best years – and we’re here to make that a reality.”
Wallacea Living in Marylebone has a restaurant, spa, gym, swimming pool, salon, orangery, cinema and library bar all available for homeowners, and their friends and family, to use.
“Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to move to the country to enjoy retirement,” continues Paul.
“We have opened our debut IRC in the heart of Westminster, close to the arts, shops, restaurants and transport links.
“Having seen the joy and genuine love of life from people who have moved to an IRC across the country, I believe that Londoners should have the same choice while remaining in the city they love.”
Nestled between Paddington Basin and Little Venice, Wallacea Living, Marylebone, enjoys an enviable location, close to some of London’s finest parks, galleries and theatres.
As well as plenty to explore on the doorstep of Wallacea Living, Marylebone, there is also plenty to keep you entertained within.
Each week, the team hosts a variety of events, designed to keep homeowners mentally and physically fit.
Whether that’s trying Pilates for the first time, mastering Bridge or learning the art of print-making.
With such a vast array of free events, there are plenty of opportunities to get a taste of what life could be like at Wallacea Living, Marylebone.
Paul adds: “Interestingly, I was speaking to my parents recently and they were asking about life in an IRC.
“One of their biggest concerns about making the move was what to do if they didn’t want to take part in the events all the time.
“I took this to mean, we’re independent, we don’t want to be told what to do. I reassured them that the whole purpose of an IRC is that you live the life you want.
“In fact, you carry on the life you have; add in the elements you want to and leave behind those you don’t.
“If you want to join in with something that is happening, do so, if you don’t want to, then don’t.
“At the end of the day, you can shut your door and be in your own space, just as you can now.”
With a choice of luxury one-and two-bedroom, pet-friendly apartments available, as well as a small selection of prestigious penthouses, homeowners won’t be disappointed.
Plus, each home incorporates modern technology, taking a proactive approach to your wellbeing and allowing you to connect with the Wallacea Living team at the touch of a button.
The first homeowners are due to move in during spring 2026.
Anyone visiting Wallacea Living for the first time can be assured of no hard-sell.
