Westminster City Council have granted Planning Permission on the residential redevelopment of Stanford House on Long Acre in Covent Garden.The scheme involves the creation of ten luxury apartments above the famous Stanfords travel bookshop. The existing Victorian structure is a Grade 2 Listed Building with a unique gabled facade designed in an eclectic Flemish Renaissance style that fronts onto Long Acre.
The new apartments have been sensitively designed to respect the historical features of the existing building while creating exciting contemporary living spaces. A new residential entrance will be created at the rear of the building on Floral Street with the bookshop retained in it's current layout.
