All Premier Inn and hub by Premier Inn hotels in the City of London and elsewhere are in vibrant, interesting parts of the city and close to public transport connections, leisure attractions and business hubs.
We are proposing a comprehensive retrofit development of New London House to create a high-quality, affordable and accessible hotel alongside an improved ground floor and public realm. Our proposals consist of a refurbishment of the tower and reconfiguration of the podium to deliver a Premier Inn hotel with a mix of supporting uses at lower levels.
Community engagement is a key part of our application process. To this end, we welcome the opportunity to hear your perspectives on the existing building and environment, and how a future Premier Inn can best serve the local community and visitors.
Below you will find some context on New London House and its surrounds, and our initial vision for the site.
We are at an early stage of our design journey and look forward to receiving your input to help inform our design responses, future public consultation events and a planning application.

Whitbread in the City

The surrounding area

The site is located next to Fenchurch Street Station, a key transport hub in the City. The location is well connected with multiple transport routes including bus, underground, cycle and walking options.
Located in the heart of the city’s commercial and tall buildings district known as the the City cluster, New London House benefits from high footfall throughout the working week.
With a number of key tourist attractions neaby, including the Tower of London and Garden at 120, it is an ideal location for visitor accomodation to support ‘Destination City’.

The site
Surrounding buildings

The Building

New London House is a 1970’s office building providing circa 90,000 sqft of office, retail and restaurant space.
The building comprises a podium and tower structure with the ground floor currently containing a pub, restaurant and retail unit.
The existing building has a number of challenges that need addressing in order to create a new hotel.
There is poor pedestrian experience on New London Street, and poor transition between Fenchurch Place and New London Street. The floors across the building are convoluted and split, and the delivery bay and sub station entrance creates an awkward corner.
As part of the proposals, there is an opportunity to make significant improvements, particularly on the ground floor and pedestrian experience on surrounding roads.
At this early stage, we would like to hear your views on the building and the local area to help inform what we should consider when developing our proposals.
