Consent Granted for the Refurbishment of 50 Queen Anne Street

We’ve recently secured planning and listed building consent for the refurbishment of 50 Queen Anne Street, a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse located in the heart of Marylebone. Commissioned by The Howard de Walden Estate, the project will sensitively upgrade the building for use as a contemporary co-working facility.

The existing building had been subject to a number of unsympathetic alterations over the decades, particularly in the 1960s. Our proposals aim to reverse this damage by reinstating a more coherent internal arrangement, renewing building services, and carefully restoring historic fabric throughout.

The scheme includes the repair and retention of original features such as the main stair, fireplaces, cornices, and joinery. Modern partitions will be removed where possible, and the original proportions of key rooms re-established. A number of discreet upgrades will be introduced, including new lighting and ventilation systems, a comprehensive fire strategy, and improved acoustic and thermal performance. All single-glazed windows will be fitted with secondary glazing.

At lower ground level, end-of-trip facilities will be introduced, including showers, cycle parking and lockers. The fourth floor will be reconfigured to provide a more functional layout, with new WCs and a tea point to support long-term commercial use.

This is the latest in a series of heritage-led refurbishments we are delivering for The Howard de Walden Estate across their central London portfolio.
