Public consultation on the future of 27-28 Clement’s Lane

JMK Group are delighted to present a public consultation on plans to rejuvenate 27-28 Clement’s Lane to deliver a new Autograph by Marriott hotel.

At present, the building contains dated office space which no longer complies with market expectations for energy efficiency, accessibility and tenant amenities. The proposals will deliver renewed investment in the site, preserving and enhancing the historic building to create a new high-quality boutique hotel to meet growing demand for visitor accommodation in the City.

The proposed hotel will support the City of London’s Destination City initiative, securing the long-term future of a dated site and delivering new public spaces and an improved pedestrian experience to enhance the area for workers, residents and visitors alike.

Ahead of submitting a planning application to the City of London later this year, we want to hear your feedback to shape the development of our plans. Read on to find out how you can get involved in our public consultation.

The Site

27-28 Clement’s Lane is located in the heart of the City of London, just moments away from Bank and Monument underground stations.

Originally built in 1865, the building is Grade II listed and sits within a predominantly commercial context in the Bank Conservation Area.

Although it retains significant heritage features – primarily its historic main façade fronting onto Clement’s Lane – the building’s interior and upper levels underwent significant remodelling and extension in the 1970s.

Both 27 and 28 Clement’s Lane currently house office space which was created during the 1970s renovations. The space is increasingly dated and fails to meet the expectations of contemporary occupiers, with poor accessibility, low floor to ceiling heights, dark narrow corridors and dated end of journey facilities. All communal amenity spaces are located at lower ground floor, with no natural light. The building’s energy performance is also poor, with outdated plant and an EPC rating of D. The 1970s renovations also resulted in an untidy roofscape which detracts from the building’s setting in relation to the surrounding Conservation Area.

There is a significant opportunity for a sensitive refurbishment of the building to better reveal its heritage significance and secure its long-term contribution to the City of London.

A new boutique hotel for the City of London

Our proposals will secure the long-term viability of the site, replacing dated office space which fails to attract contemporary occupiers with a boutique hotel from an established luxury operator, Autograph by Marriott. This will return the site to thriving commercial use, helping meet growing demand for visitor accomodation in the City of London. The proposals aim to bring new opportunities for the Destination City programme to create a leading City destination for workers, residents and UK and international visitors to enjoy. The proposed development will include new publicly accessible areas that can be enjoyed by all.

Proposed extension design

Blending tradition with contemporary design

The heritage-led refurbishment will retain all historic elements of the building whilst refurbishing the 1970s interiors to support the new use as a hotel. The design approach has been developed to better reveal the heritage significance of the buildings, enhancing the entrance on the historic Clement’s Lane façade and rationalising the untidy roofscape.

To accommodate the new hotel, the proposal will deliver a recessed, contextual extension which blends traditional and modern design to offer a contemporary interpretation of its architectural context.

An improved pedestrian experience

The refurbishment aims to improve the experience of the area for workers, residents and visitors alike. It will create active frontages along Clement’s Lane and Lombard Court via publicly accessible groundfloor spaces that are shared with the wider City community. The project will also provide passive surveillence towards Lombard Court and St Clement’s Court to enhance security.

Proposed sustainability approach

A sustainable approach

The retrofit-first design approach will sustainably regenerate the site, whilst significantly improving the building’s energy performance. At present, the building has a dated MEP system with an EPC rating of D. The refurbishment will incorporate numerous low carbon technologies for improved energy efficiency, alongside green roofs, rainwater harvesting and improved end of journey facilities to incentivise sustainable transport.
