Squire Heritage Consulting provided heritage advice and assessment for alterations to the Grade II listed Warrington Hotel, a prominent mid-19th-century public house and hotel within the Maida Vale Conservation Area.
Detailed assessment of the building’s architectural and historic significance informed a conservation-led approach to the operational improvements. Proposals included alterations to kitchen and service areas, new ventilation infrastructure, fire-safety works, repairs to historic fabric and carefully integrated alterations to the rear mansard roof.
Particular consideration was given to the building’s highly decorative historic interiors, surviving plan form and distinctive external character. The heritage strategy demonstrated how modern servicing and operational requirements could be accommodated while retaining the significant fabric and character of this important historic building.
The commission continued Squire Heritage Consulting’s involvement with the Warrington Hotel, following earlier heritage advice and a successful planning appeal concerning alterations to the property.
