| At the presentation ceremony of an architecture award for the building in 1931, the legendary Frank Pick, commented on the height, noting that “in fact, it goes so high that it has a 9th floor, which we cannot use because the London County Council has decided that it is unsafe for us to live there . But our architects insisted there should be a 9th floor, because the proportions of the building required it, and we were complacent clients, so it was built .”The leasehold sale includes the ground floor retail units, but not the ticket hall and other operational property. There will be no material impact upon the operation of London Underground at St James’s Park Station. TfL wont move its remaining office staff out for up to a year, although works separating the operational elements from the office areas has already started.Back in 2015, Westminster Council approved plans to convert the building into flats, but the sale was regularly delayed and the application expired in 2018. It’s not been officially revealed yet whether the new owner is looking at turning it into flats, or a hotel. It is a listed building and heavily protected from a heritage perspective, so don’t expect radical changes to this art-deco icon of London. -- ???????? | |||
