Central to the vision is the sensitive refurbishment of the existing building, retaining over 95% of its structure to deliver major embodied carbon savings while upgrading its environmental performance.
The Peacock Pub, a feature of the site since the 18th century, will be reinvented as a turbo-charged Art Deco-inspired venue, complemented by a basement speakeasy and rooftop F&B options.
At ground level, new cafés, restaurants and outdoor terraces will create a more permeable and active frontage, engaging with the local community and supporting the City of London’s Destination City strategy.
Alongside its hospitality and cultural role, the project will generate training, apprenticeships and employment opportunities, delivering meaningful benefits for local people and the wider economy.
