Planning Permission granted for 406-408 The Strand

Westminster City Council have granted Planning Permission for the conversion of the existing six storey office building owned by Legal and General into 13 luxury apartments. The scheme includes extensive remodelling and roof level extensions at the rear of the site to create contemporary penthouses with private terraces facing onto The Strand and Bulls Inn Court.

The building is an original 1980's structure that faces onto The Strand in central London and is located between the Adelphi Theatre and Vaudeville Theatre. The scheme will also create a new retail unit at ground floor in addition to the existing Santander Bank unit, which will be retained.

Competition win for King George's Park tennis pavillion
