Kitchen remodelling in St John's Wood
St John's Wood is City of Westminster's regency (1820-1840) detached and semi-detached villas submarket. St John's Wood was the first area in London to be developed entirely as detached and semi-detached villas (rather than terraces) starting in the 1820s, which means the Regency villa stock here has freehold gardens 60-80% larger than comparable Westminster terraces, and TPOs blanket roughly 40% of the protected garden trees.
What a kitchen remodelling project looks like here

Roughly 95% of the housing stock sits inside the St John's Wood Conservation Area, and the 2014 Article 4 Direction here removes Permitted Development rights including for like-for-like sash window replacement, so even a window swap needs a full householder application.
Many of the 1930s mansion blocks (Avenue Mansions, Northwick Terrace) are Grade II listed as groups, so flat-internal works including kitchen reconfigurations need LBC through Westminster's conservation team, adding roughly 8-12 weeks to consent.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
