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 />
