Holborn
Holborn boasts a rich tapestry of architectural history, reflecting styles from various eras attractively juxtaposed with modern developments. The area is renowned for its legal profession-centric buildings surrounding the four Inns of Court, predominantly built between the 16th and 19th centuries using traditional stone and brick techniques. This historic domain is complemented by later additions, such as the early 20th-century neoclassical structures, that contribute to its distinctly British character.
Strand
The Strand serves as a bustling corridor between the City and Westminster, showcasing a varied architectural landscape. From the iconic early 20th-century neo-Gothic structures of the courts and the continuous evolution of theatrical architecture reflecting Art Deco and modernist styles, to the cutting-edge contemporary buildings like the Strand Campus of King’s College, the area embraces both its historic roots and modern innovation. The construction here often involves a mixture of repurposed older buildings and sleek new constructions featuring glass and steel, catering to a range of business and cultural needs.
Covent Garden
Covent Garden is a charming blend of old and new, where 17th-century piazza layouts meet Victorian and modern market conversions. The area is famous for its former fruit and vegetable market buildings originating from the 1830s, built from robust London brick under the designs of Charles Fowler. The preservation and adaptation of these structures into retail and entertainment hubs have been carried out with sensitivity and flair, often utilising modern materials and techniques to enhance usability while respecting the historical essence.
