ENRICHED WITH HERITAGE AND MODERN ELEGANCE
"Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces mediocrity in art and life alike.”
Once the Panamanian Embassy, located off Thurloe Place, Amberwood House became the residence of ballet legend Margot Fonteyn upon her marriage in 1955 to Dr. Roberto Arias, who served as the Panamanian Ambassador to the UK. During their residence, Amberwood House became synonymous with leading artistic and political figures of the day and hosted illustrious guests including Princess Margaret, Rudolf Nureyev, John Wayne, Peter Sellers and Yves St Laurent.
Now fully modernised and renamed in honour of the iconic British prima ballerina, Fonteyn House continues to embody timeless elegance.
Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn’s ballet partner lived at the house while negotiating his Royal Ballet contract in 1961. The bedroom
suite on the second floor served as the dance studio for him and Margot during this period.
