ABOUT A BOY Growing up in Australia, Steven McRae dreamed of attending the Royal Ballet School in London. At 17, he achieved his goal and today he is a principal dancer at the Royal Opera House, starring in Romeo and Juliet and Swan Lake
I
n the heart of Covent Garden, the Royal Opera House has been home to the Royal Ballet since 1946. For Steven McRae, growing up in Sydney’s western suburbs during the eighties, the idea of performing on the hallowed Opera House stage in London was just a pipe dream. “My upbringing was not glamorous. I grew up in quite a rough area. My family loved motorsport and my father was a drag racer and auto-electrician, so my sister and I were brought up at the racetrack,” says Steven. It was watching his older sister dancing that first sparked his interest in ballet. “Aged 7, I said to my parents that I’d like to have a go and they never questioned it. They always said, ‘He wants to dance, so why not?’” A ballet teacher was found but, although Steven’s prodigious talent was never in doubt and his parents were supportive, there was no way they could afford to send their son to train at the Royal Ballet School in London.
SCHOLARSHIP PAYS “It’s one of the most expensive schools on the planet!” says Steven. “But my teacher told me about this competition called the Prix de Lausanne which could open doors. So, in 2003, I arrived in Switzerland with my mum. I’d never been to Europe before. The only reason I could get there was because I’d won a dance competition and the prize money paid for my flight.” The journey was worthwhile. Steven won a scholarship to the Royal Ballet School and within hours, he and his mum were on a plane to London. “My mum had one night with me in London and then had to leave: I didn’t know a soul.”
I turned up with a pair of jeans and a jumper, thinking that was enough for a London winter! At just 17, Steven’s first impressions of London were mixed. “Initially I hated it because my feelings were intertwined with homesickness. It was also winter, so that was a shock. I turned up with a pair of jeans and a jumper, thinking that was enough for a London winter!” Although Steven struggled, his drive to succeed kept him going, as did his friendship with Elizabeth Harrod who would later become his wife.
KINDRED SPIRITS “I met Lizzie on my first day. She told me that it would get easier. She had boarded at the school since the age of 11. She’s from Yorkshire and would go six weeks at a time without seeing her family. We danced together and our friendship grew. When we became professionals, she went to Norway for a few years and I joined the Royal Ballet, becoming a soloist in 2006. When a soloist contract came up for her at the Royal Ballet in 2007, she came back and we were able to have a proper relationship.” dexters.co.uk

The couple married in 2011, the year that Steven won Best Male Dancer at the Critics’ Circle National Dance Awards. They went on to have three children – Audrey, 6, Frederick, 4 and Rupert, 2. Elizabeth recently retired and Steven now juggles family life with the demands of being a principal. “Our start time can be anywhere from 4am to 6am – our children just don’t sleep. They come in like pocket rockets and then it’s breakfast and getting dressed for school. I leave the house at 8am and arrive at the Opera House, go to the gym, then to Pilates and our daily ballet class. From midday, rehearsals begin. If there is a performance, rehearsals finish at 5.30pm; the performance starts at 7.30pm and finishes at 10.30pm. So, I usually have 12-hour days, six days a week.”
If you’ve never seen a ballet, Romeo and Juliet by the Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House is the one. INJURY TIME It sounds exhausting but Steven, who has spent the last few years recovering from an injury, is just glad to be back in action. In 2019, when he was playing des Grieux in Manon, he tore his Achilles tendon. He explains, “Just over four years ago my Achilles started to play up and I couldn’t walk properly and was on a lot of anti-inflammatories. Eventually, I had three procedures to try to correct things. I got back on stage after each operation and even filmed the role of Skimbleshanks in the Cats movie and did a master’s degree in marketing – it was bonkers! And then our third child arrived. Six weeks later, I was preparing for Manon but I was still in pain. I had a meeting with my medical team and said, ‘I’m in pain if I don’t dance and I’m in pain if I do, so I’m going to keep taking those tablets and dance.’”
dexters.co.uk
And dance he did, until disaster struck – in front of an audience of 2,500 people. Steven takes up the story. “In Act 2 I took a little jump and thought I had tripped over something. I went to step again but didn’t have a leg to stand on, literally. I signalled to the stage manager and she had to tell the orchestra to stop and they brought the curtain in. Then I was lying in the wings in agony, the adrenalin had gone and you could see a chunk was missing from my leg where my Achilles had snapped and ricocheted up. It was horrific.” Momentarily, Steven thought his career was over but Royal Ballet Director, Kevin O’Hare convinced him otherwise, saying, “You will dance again.”
BACK TO BALLET And with the true grit that saw Steven rise from first artist to principal in just four years, Steven did take to the stage again, in October 2021, playing Romeo. The production runs through to February and Steven is keen to encourage new audiences. “I didn’t come from the ballet world and I can see why people might say, ‘That’s not for me.’ If you’ve never seen a ballet, Romeo and Juliet by the Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House is the one. Most people know the story, Prokofiev’s score is incredible, there is naturalistic acting, beautiful partnering where the ballerina looks like she’s floating and sword fights.” On his Instagram feed, Steven posts photos of him working out to give followers an insight into his profession. “I want to show the athlete behind the artist; I want to inspire more people to check out ballet.” And judging by his huge following, the boy from the suburbs of Sydney who took the Royal Opera House by storm, is doing just that.

• What is your favourite London memory? Our wedding: we got married at Somerset House in 2011. My family came from Australia and Lizzie’s came from Yorkshire. We chose London because that was the place that brought us together. Another favourite memory is performing at Buckingham Palace. As a kid, I occasionally saw news about the Royal Family, and to find myself performing at Buckingham Palace in front of the Queen was a very odd scenario for a boy like me. • Where do you like to eat in the capital? A little Michelin starred restaurant in Kew Gardens called The Glasshouse: I feel really lucky that our village has such a wonderful restaurant. In central London, we love going to Hakkasan for Chinese food and Nobu for Japanese.
Covent Garden in the heart of the West End is always buzzing with activity. For centuries, tourists have been drawn to the variety of entertainment the area provides: from the Royal Opera House to world class street performers and some of London’s best shopping and dining destinations.
• Where do you go to unwind? A few weeks ago, we were invited to a new spa near Covent Garden called Aire. There are ancient baths underground with different thermal temperatures: I was blown away and that’s my new place to unwind!
Rich in history, the cultural heritage of Covent Garden is reflected in its architecture. On the Piazza, you’ll find lots of grand converted townhouses, while in the greater Fitzrovia area, newly built luxury apartments are the property of choice.
• What or who have you got on speed dial? Just my wife: she is my world. • London’s best kept secret is… The Piazza Terrace bar at The Royal Opera House where you can have a coffee or a cocktail and take in the most beautiful views of the whole piazza and the London Eye. You don’t need to have a ticket to a show, you can just access the bar from the main entrance. • What do you like most about living and working in London? I love that there are so many things to do. You turn a corner and there’s an exhibition – we take the children to exhibitions at 180 The Strand. London is a exciting hub of possibilities and having our children grow up in that environment excites me.
Shaftesbury Avenue, running all the way from Piccadilly Circus to New Oxford Street has real showbiz appeal. Here you can catch a performance at one of London’s top theatres or grab a pre-show dinner at a local foodie hotspot such as Balthazar, Da Henrietta or Petersham Nurseries. Famous former residents include Dame Margot Fonteyn, a legendary ballerina who lived on Long Acre and the author of Moby Dick, Herman Melville, who resided on Craven Street. Rose Street is also home to several legendary pubs including the Lamb & Flag, a Grade II Listed public house built in the Tudor period that was once English novelist Charles Dickens’ favourite haunt.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEARTH IS On winter nights there is nothing more heart-warming than a fire – be it fuelled by gas, electricity, biofuel or good old-fashioned wood
Design by Grate Expectations
“
If you do it right, a wood burner is an excellent way to heat your home sustainably
CLIMATE CARE Everyone is drawn to an open fire, but with climate change at the forefront of all our minds, there are ways to achieve the effect dexters.co.uk
“
T
he addition of a magnificent mantelpiece or stunning fire surround will enhance any interior. Danny Cousins of Grate Expectations says, “It’s important to get your mode of heat right before contemplating the aesthetics. Consider your lifestyle, if you work long hours and have a busy family life you may prefer a gas or electric fire that you can switch on at the touch of a remote control. Or, if you would like to add another dimension to the room and enjoy the process of lighting and loading the fire, then wood burning is a consideration.”
Design by Marble Hill Fireplaces
while minimising damage to the planet. Mike Johnson of English Fireplaces says, “Environmental concerns are being addressed by increasingly strict regulations regarding acceptable emissions from wood burning stoves, and an ever-widening range of biofuel fires.” Biofuel, such as bioethanol, is made from the fermentation of vegetable matter, a green choice for those who don’t want to burn fossil fuels. Bioethanol fireplaces do not require a flue or chimney for installation and can therefore be fitted in any type of property. Another option for rooms without a chimney is a balanced flue gas fire. Cousins says, “If you are going to burn gas, you’ve got to do it effectively. Balanced flue gas fires bring in their own combustion air and have high efficiency of between 78 and 89 per cent. Conventional flue gas fires are designed to work with existing chimneys and
take combustion air from the room. If you choose a glass fronted gas fire as opposed to an open gas fire, the efficiency goes from about 20 per cent to around 70 per cent. ”
ALL FIRED UP If you like the idea of a wood burner, it is crucial to install the best model possible. “A stove that meets all the regulations with a correctly designed flue system to ensure good updraft, is fundamental to effective operation. If you do it right, a wood burner is an excellent way to heat your home sustainably,” says Cousins, adding, “In London, the biggest challenge is to try to convince people to stop burning damp or poor quality wood in open fires. People fail to realise that if you burn anything on an open grate you only ever reach one level of combustion and your particle emissions and pollution levels are high with what we call in the industry ‘black smoke’. When you burn
WINTER 2022
seasoned wood on a high efficiency stove, you’ll only ever get what we call ‘white smoke’ or hardly any smoke at all.” Unsurprisingly, given the climate emergency, the demand for electric fires is growing and they are often designed to be the focus of a decorative wall or part of a media unit. Fires that operate on LED lighting systems consume hardly any energy at all, although the heating aspect is secondary to the visual effect. Electric fires are ideal for modern homes with good levels of insulation and a productive heating system already.
forms and more colourful materials – Bianco Carrara, Arabescato and Lilac Viola marbles being prominent.” According to Cousins, “You can’t go wrong with limestone which has an earth tone: as it’s neutral, a limestone surround can be sympathetic to both the modern and classic features in your room.” Although climate considerations may determine the type of fire you choose, it seems that, when it comes to style, you can still let your imagination run free.

HISTORIC HOUSES Architectural wonders of the previous Centuries make up the vast majority of property in the capital. Here we relish in the rich history of modern day London
GRAND DESIGNS Living in a house with history is both a joy and a privilege. And, whether you are looking to rent or to buy, there are architectural gems aplenty in the capital
F
rom St Paul’s Cathedral, a City landmark since the 17th Century, to Kensington’s Royal Albert Hall which was erected during the Victorian era, London is blessed with beautiful buildings. Of course, we can all admire the public buildings but, for the lucky few, the chance to reside in a historic home is a reality.
Guy Thornton, Sales Director at Dexters says, “A bit of prestige is always welcome; if you can walk around your home and imagine that someone influential or famous has lived there, it’s obviously going to have appeal.”
HOMAGE TO HISTORY
London’s famous blue plaque scheme links the people of the past with the buildings of the present. Now run by English Heritage, the scheme originated in 1866. Across the capital, there are over 950 plaques that honour the notable men and women who have lived or worked in them. In 2021, a new plaque was unveiled at Coleherne Court in Kensington, the place Lady Diana Spencer called home before she became the Princess of Wales. For those interested in the celebrities of yesteryear, the new blue plaque app can take you from
If you hanker for high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling sash windows and reception rooms large enough for a Bridgerton ball, you may find your perfect property in the garden squares of Belgravia and Fitzrovia or the sweeping terraces that abut Regent’s Park. Living in such a home may have architectural advantages but these properties do come at a premium especially if someone famous once resided there. dexters.co.uk
HERITAGE HOMES
WINTER 2022
The ideal property has period features but is a modern, warm, minimalist home internally
Sylvia Pankhurst’s home in Chelsea to Jimi Hendrix’s Mayfair flat, for example. If you are lucky enough to buy a property with a plaque it may be wise to find out if there are any restrictions on what you can do with the building both externally and internally. Guy says, “There is always an element of caution with a listed property. I remember selling a Grade II property which belonged to a famous English novelist and poet, because of this it wasn’t just the exterior of the property that was listed, it was also the library, the internal panelling and the staircase.” Guy finds that while people may love the character and charm that comes with a traditional style they still want all the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary living. He says, “At the front, you’ll have a beautiful period home but often, at the back, you’ll have a glass rear extension with a big open plan space with double doors that either concertina or slide open onto the garden. The ideal property has period features but is a modern, warm, minimalist home internally.”
DREAM PROPERTIES In the capital there is a grand design to suit every taste. If the Victorian era is to your liking, there are some wonderful properties in east London. On Jesus Green, not far from Columbia Road flower market, you can find early Victorian homes with the traditional London or ‘butterfly’ roof which has an internal gulley. For those who favour the Georgian period, there are stunning stucco fronted homes around Notting Hill and in north London. “There are some incredible Georgian homes on De Beauvoir Road,” says Guy, adding, “North London has become a real hot spot amongst the rich and famous, drawn in by its leafy green suburban charm whilst sitting firmly in the heart of London.” That said, for those lucky enough to live within the walls of such fine architecture, being a responsible custodian of a piece of history is surely part of the appeal.

Dexters are expecting the busy sales and lettings market to continue into the New Year. “Two things in particular that came out of the pandemic were a greater focus on home-life balance and more people wanting to be in London than to leave for the country,” says Andy. “The appetite for property remains strong, and we are handling the highest volumes of enquiries we have ever seen with over 140,000 people currently looking for a new London home. We have been carrying out some 45,000 viewing appointments every month, equivalent to showing a property every 15 seconds during our working week. We’re also particularly pleased to see a sharp rise in international buyers and tenants and our 12 prime central London offices have been breaking all records.

We have over 200 property managers who work across our London offices caring for both individual houses and flats, as well as whole blocks, estates and portfolios. Our property managers are all located within 15 minutes of the properties they look after, which ensures a rapid response to any issues that may arise,” says Andy.
Andy says, “We are very proud of our recent successes which have included the sale of The Royal Naval Club in Mayfair, an iconic building listed at £35 million. It is great to see that London has reclaimed its reputation as the best city in the world to invest in.”
“At the end of the day, all of our success and activity comes from our people. We invest in long term relationships, which means colleagues stay with us throughout their careers. In fact, 90 per cent of our managers have grown up in the company, starting as trainees.”
“Our lettings teams are extremely busy” Andy continues, “Working in partnership with the 30,000 Landlords who trust us to look after their property investments. We have seen a 36 per cent increase in homes let by us year on year. We have also seen rents increasing, and we think 2022 will be no different.”

who have over 40 years of experience specialising in Mayfair and St James’s. Together we are able to offer our clients the very best combined service and it is likely we already know your buyer or tenant.
What are some of the changes you’ve witnessed here over the years?
We successfully let a gated mews house for £9,000 per week, including full management of the property. It was about to launch onto the sales market before we spotted an opportunity to conduct an off-market viewing, having noticed that it perfectly met the needs of one of our tenants that came to us through our Corporate Lettings team. Our Landlord was delighted with the outcome.
I love the grandeur of the houses and the extravagance of the interiors. The area also has a fantastic atmosphere, especially in the evenings. From Park Chinois to Sexy Fish, there’s a real buzz in the air. During the day, the abundance of garden squares make you forget that you are in a major city.
There has been a lot of investment, for example, the former US embassy is being converted into a 137-room, ultra-luxe hotel. The Chancery Rosewood will have an Asaya spa, five restaurants and a large ballroom. This development is going to be a landmark destination and is receiving global attention. The public realm scheme is also changing the area in a big way, both environmentally and socially.
What are the most popular streets in your area?
How can Landlords maximise the appeal of their property?
Mount Street, followed closely by North Audley Street and Duke Street. Grosvenor Square also attracts a lot of interest because of its prestigious postcode. Whether you choose to live next to Shepherd Market or Bond Street, there is a wide variety of property.
At Dexters we work with over 30,000 Landlords across London and our advice to them is to make sure that their property stands out. In Mayfair, tenants are looking for a certain level of luxury, so we offer a bespoke design and refurbishment service. From staging your home to a complete renovation, we will advise you on how to make the most of your property.
What do you love most about the area?
Who are the typical buyers and tenants in Mayfair?
What’s been your most recent success?
What draws buyers and tenants to this part of London? I think people are drawn to the luxury and heritage of the area. Mayfair has a fantastic selection of period properties with architecture that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Homes tend to be interior designed and presented to an extremely high standard, all within proximity to London’s finest galleries, restaurants and designer boutiques.
A well-established database is also key. We work in partnership with Wetherell,

B
ordered by Regent's Park, St John’s Wood sits alongside Marylebone and is just a short trip to the West End. Edward Burchett and Jennifer Wratten have a combined 30 years of experience working in the property industry and love the neighbourhood’s village feel. Who are your typical buyers and tenants in St John’s Wood? Jennifer: St John's Wood is hugely popular with corporate and international tenants. They’re looking to enjoy a cosmopolitan lifestyle in a residential setting, whilst remaining very close to the West End and the City. St John’s Wood has always been a safe haven for savvy property investors who are looking for good yields and capital growth.
Edward: Families come here to put down roots as they are particularly drawn to the superb schools in the area. We attract a lot of interest from our American clients, thanks to our proximity to the American School. Quite often, we draw in buyers and tenants who are registered with one of our local offices such as Hampstead, Maida Vale and Marylebone.
Describe a typical day in the office. Jennifer: No two days are ever the same, but we always start with a team meeting to plan for our busy day ahead. I attend back

This success is due to our experienced team who pick up the phone and don’t hide behind emails. At Dexters, only 3 in every 20 viewing appointments come from the internet, the rest we generate ourselves.
What's the market looking like at the moment? Edward: The market is very busy. Every

NEW LONDON COMMUNITIES Not for sale - the latest developments that are only available to rent, Dexters Lettings Managing Director Lee Liasi explains the attraction
Lee comments that “This has been a great project for us and a real challenge letting so many apartments in one go, it has taken all of our resources and a lot of hard work by the lettings team. We have enjoyed working with the developers from an early stage and this has meant we've been able to help get the product and marketing right. Much of the attraction of living in a Build to Rent development like this is that there are a lot of like minded people sharing communal facilities so you get to meet up with others, it's a fun place to spend time.” NWX has many different apartments, all have been beautifully fitted out with
the latest in kitchens and bathrooms and come with super-fast WiFi built-in. Dexters launched a full scale marketing campaign and interestingly reported that just 5 per cent of interest came from online enquiries. “We have had to draw on good old-fashioned Estate Agency skills to succeed here,” says Lee, “Pulling together all of our contacts across London - at any one time we are in touch with 140,000 people looking for a London home through our network of offices. We put in an extraordinary amount of hard work on the phone and found that once people visited the site they really bought into the community and loved the apartments too!” The properties rent for £1,400 per month upwards for a one bedroom and £1,650 per month for a two bedroom. They can be rented unfurnished or with BoConcept furniture options.

Dexters is ideally placed to handle the letting and management of Build to Rent properties, as well as the block management of entire developments

WX Residences is part of a brand new community in north west London known as Oaklands Rise. It forms part of the North Acton and Park Royal Regeneration Zone and is named after the NW10 postcode, eventually providing over 45,000 new homes in the area. There are 200 apartments designed by CZWG, the award-winning architectural practice of Piers Gough and Adam West. Dexters are the sole agents for the site and they have already found tenants for most apartments.
There are numerous new organisations and developers in the Build to Rent market and Dexters are working with many of them across London. According to the British Property Federation, the sector will grow by 30 per cent per annum over the next few years and by 2025, the UK Build to Rent industry will have an estimated valuation of £75 billion. There are currently some
14,800 completed Build to Rent properties in London, with almost 30,000 in the construction or planning pipeline. In a city with a growing population, a shortage of housing and over 3.56 million dwellings in total, there is huge growth potential for the sector. Lee explains “The Landlord of a Build to Rent scheme is usually an investment company or pension fund which is looking at a long term investment and therefore keen to offer a quality product with high standards of service. For tenants, having a professional and committed Landlord gives reassurance and an enhanced rental experience. As these schemes are generally apartments, added benefits such as inclusive Wi-Fi, the use of communal areas, roof gardens, bicycle storage, concierge service and 24-hour security are often included within the rent.” With 70 offices across the capital, including 12 in prime central London, Dexters is ideally placed to handle the letting and management of Build to Rent properties, as well as the block management of entire developments. They have a specialist Corporate Lettings and International Relocation team handling hundreds of enquiries every week from global blue chip companies, embassies and institutions looking to relocate staff into accommodation in London.
