With Oasis set for a major UK reunion next year, the internet is buzzing with British culture, and the resurgence of the band has inspired a revival of the #Britcore trend.
The trend, once a light-hearted nod to the UK’s less glamorous aesthetics, is now seeing a more mature comeback – much like the Gallagher brothers themselves.
One apartment building in Wembley Park, near where Oasis will perform at Wembley Stadium, is tapping into this trend through its distinctive interior design. The Robinson, managed by Quintain Living, reflects the quirks of British culture, offering a unique living experience.
The design of The Robinson begins at the front door, which is lined with knockers, opening into a timber-panelled lobby adorned with wallpaper and translucent curtains – evoking a sense of a traditional British home. The lobby features striped post boxes with Dr Martens feet, floating chairs, and a giant mirror ball that casts light across the room.
Upstairs, the Residents’ Lounge continues the theme with a wall of pictures celebrating British culture, from iconic musicians to everyday items like stainless steel forks.
A standout feature is the lounge’s glass-backed fireplace, with a Rococo-style giltwood mirror above it, offering views over London. In one corner, a London taxi, decorated with Damien Hirst-inspired polka dots, serves as a coffee machine and drinks chiller.
The Robinson’s homage to British culture doesn’t stop indoors. On one rooftop, custom-designed campervans in blue, yellow, and pink serve as work-from-home spaces, while another rooftop features a traditional caravan repurposed as a resident spa with a hot tub. The gardens below include striped deckchairs and a peace garden inspired by John Lennon.
The outdoor space also features a Mad Hatter’s tea party garden, complete with brightly colored giant flowerpots and chandeliers hanging above. Residents can also enjoy views of Wembley Stadium from an enormous row of sun loungers on the main roof terrace, offering a prime spot to experience Oasis’ return next summer.
Danielle Bayless, Chief Operating Officer at Quintain Living, said, “One of the many exciting aspects of life with Quintain Living is the distinct design of each of our eight buildings at Wembley Park.
“Our inventive approach has resulted in buildings such as The Robinson, which are bursting with unique character. This not only provides residents with a vast array of choice but enables us to level up the resident experience, creating homes that people can love.”
The Robinson’s combination of Britcore-inspired design and quirky features ties perfectly into the broader celebration of British culture, as excitement builds for Oasis’ highly anticipated return to Wembley.
