Ex-Daily Express<br />

building to be<br />

redeveloped<br />

THE <strong>City</strong> of London Corporation has<br />

approved plans for a new 21-storey<br />

office-led development and rejuvenation<br />

of a listed former newspaper headquarters<br />

at 120 Fleet Street.<br />

The <strong>City</strong> Corporation’s Planning and<br />

Transportation Committee supported the<br />

plans by CO-RE, which include detaching<br />

the Grade II-listed Daily Express building<br />

from River Court.<br />

The latter will be replaced with the new<br />

tower which will offer in excess of 61,000<br />

sqm of high-quality office floorspace.<br />

The art deco Daily Express building will<br />

be transformed into a publicly accessible<br />

cultural destination with social and<br />

educational outreach. It will become home<br />

to a free publicly accessible roof garden.<br />

Planners say the development will<br />

enrich the local area with increased<br />

pedestrian permeability and public realm<br />

enhancements including pavement<br />

widening, tree planting and a new eastwest<br />

route connecting Shoe Lane with<br />

Bride Street.<br />

The scheme also represents an uplift in<br />

ground-floor retail floorspace in the Fleet<br />

Street Principal Shopping Centre, with an<br />

increase in active frontage.<br />

The development also encourages<br />

active travel via a ‘Cycle House’ that will<br />

offer 85 short stay and 149 long stay cycle<br />

parks, maintenance stations, a café and<br />

retail options as well as a concierge service<br />

dedicated to cyclists, including cargo bike<br />

delivery.<br />

Chair of the <strong>City</strong> of London Corporation’s<br />

Planning and Transportation Committee,<br />

Alastair Moss, said: “Fleet Street is<br />

renowned as the former home of London’s<br />

newspaper industry and this development<br />

takes care to rejuvenate the old Daily<br />

Express building to the next chapter of its<br />

rich history.<br />

“Importantly, it will also allow for a new,<br />

high-quality office to be constructed in this<br />

key strategic part of the <strong>City</strong>.<br />

“Developments like this, coupled with<br />

the undeniable return of the buzz of <strong>City</strong><br />

workers, continue to give us unwavering<br />

confidence that the Square Mile’s recovery<br />

will go from strength-to-strength, as Fleet<br />

Street re-invents itself as a key part of<br />

the <strong>City</strong>.”<br />

Plans for hotel with ‘sky forests’<br />

AN old office block is set to become a<br />

luxury hotel with a rooftop cocktail bar and<br />

“sky forests”, writes Hannah Neary, Local<br />

Democracy Reporter.<br />

A developer wants to transform a 1950s<br />

office block in the <strong>City</strong> of London into a<br />

300-room hotel. Ploberger Hotel Group<br />

plans to revamp Boundary House, Jewry<br />

Street (EC3N 2EX) to create space for a hotel,<br />

restaurant, bar, coffee shop and work space.<br />

The site is a short walk from Aldgate and<br />

London Fenchurch Street stations.<br />

A planning report describes the development<br />

as: “An opportunity to re-imagine this<br />

area as part of the new 24/7 <strong>City</strong> and reposition<br />

the currently ill-defined neighbourhood<br />

as a vibrant urban quarter.” Designed by<br />

Images by Bjarke Ingels Group<br />

architects David Bonnett Associates, the new<br />

hotel would feature an outdoor bar on the<br />

14th floor surrounded by trees.<br />

The report describes it as “a striking green<br />

crown on the skyline” that will reduce local<br />

air and noise pollution. It adds: “To soften<br />

and green a hard inner-city environment<br />

currently severely lacking in landscaping, the<br />

rooftops will be “urban sky forests” planted<br />

with new trees.”<br />

Ploberger Hotel Group was previously<br />

given planning permission to redevelop Bow<br />

Street Magistrates’ Court and Police Station<br />

into a 100-room hotel with restaurants and<br />

bars.<br />

The <strong>City</strong>’s Planning Committee will<br />

consider this application in due course.

Spring at Somerset House<br />

Somerset House isn’t too far away from<br />

the procession route this year, making the<br />

Spring restaurant the perfect spot for the<br />

ethically minded diner. Head chef Skye<br />

Gyngell has been pushing forward Spring’s<br />

environmentally-friendly policies since<br />

2016, creating brilliant seasonal menus<br />

from all locally sourced and organic<br />

produce. Her last ‘Scratch Menu’ raised<br />

awareness on food waste and she is now<br />

pushing ahead with a plan to make the<br />

restaurant entirely plastic free by the end<br />

of 2019; not a small feat for those in the<br />

hospitality industry. And beyond all of their<br />

sustainability efforts, the space within the<br />

new wing of Somerset House is visually<br />

stunning and the changing menu is given<br />

a whole heap of thought and care. It’s fine<br />

dining done ethically, and a supreme pick<br />

for the Lord Mayor’s Show.<br />
