151 Shaftesbury Avenue Gets Go Ahead
12 March 2025
 

Royal London Asset Management Property has secured unanimous approval for the sustainable transformation of 151 Shaftesbury Avenue.

The building will be transformed into a dynamic modern workspace whilst preserving its architectural heritage. Over 90 per cent of the existing structure will be retained.

The retrofit-led extension and refurbishment will create 55,000 sq ft of high-quality workspace alongside provision for a bar, exercise studio, and club lounge. 

The approval for this next phase of the scheme, which is situated five minutes from Tottenham Court Road station, is in line with market demand for sustainable office space with strong connectivity in core locations.

Joseph Kane, Senior Development Manager at Royal London Asset Management Property, said: "We have worked closely with Camden Council and local stakeholders to bring forward a proposal that will deliver exceptional workplaces and amenities while responding sensitively to the local environment. The proposals will transform the building while retaining over 90 per cent of the existing structure, with the revitalised building bringing the site to life and supporting the local economy. We look forward to working with Camden Council and the local community as we move towards the delivery stage.”

The approval is subject to execution of a S106 agreement, with works expected to begin in late 2026.
