Custom House City Limited has submitted plans to transform the iconic Custom House on Lower Thames Street, City of London, into a luxury 179-bed hotel. The redevelopment aims to restore the Neo-Classical landmark, enhancing its historic significance while introducing modern hospitality offerings.
Key Features of the Proposal
179-room hotel with spa and health facilities.
Diverse dining options in the King’s Warehouse.
The Long Room repurposed as a premier event space.
Enhanced public access through a cultural strategy, allowing visitors to experience the building’s historic significance for the first time.
A Historic Transformation
Situated at the historic Pool of London, Custom House played a pivotal role in British overseas commerce for over 200 years until HMRC vacated the site in 2021. The proposed redevelopment aims to preserve its architectural grandeur, while bringing it back into public use in a way never before seen.
This project promises to establish a ‘Golden Thread’ of accessibility and heritage, ensuring the legacy of Custom House is both preserved and reimagined for the future.
