Broadway

22nd February 2020

Welcome and Introduction

Welcome to the public exhibition of the proposals for the
future of 55 Broadway and the neighbouring 100 Petty
France and Wing Over Station buildings in the heart of
historic Westminster.

Integrity International Group has recently purchased the complex
with the intention of becoming the new long-term custodians of 55
Broadway, sensitively restoring the Grade I listed early-modernist
building and opening it up to the public through its conversion to
a high-quality hotel, owned and operated by Integrity International
Group and its Chairman, leading hotelier Tony Matharu.

We are keen to understand the views of our neighbours and the local
community about how 55 Broadway can contribute positively to its
neighbourhood as a high-quality hotel, before submitting a planning
application to Westminster City Council.

We would be grateful if you could complete a feedback form once
you have reviewed the exhibition and return this via the ballot box
or email. The exhibition materials are also available via our website
55-broadway.com.

Members of our project team are available to discuss the proposals
and respond to any questions you may have.

The Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive of the
Underground Electric Railways at the time 55
Broadway was commissioned was Frank Pick,
who oversaw many of the Underground’s most
recognisable symbols, including the roundel Tube
Station signs and the Underground Map which is
still in use today.

He appreciated the importance of design in
his work, employing some of the most forward
thinking artists and designers of the day, and had a
unique working relationship with architect Charles
Holden.

100 PETTY FRANCE

This building was erected in the 1970s and relates in height to
neighbouring Albany House. The two properties form a modest and
understated terrace as a whole.

100 Petty France follows the building line of the previous building on
the site, Electric Railways House, engaging with 55 Broadway in a similar
way. The steel element is clad in Portland Stone with a grey/ green stone
spandrel panel below the windows.

The rear façade is a property cladding system with back painted glass
panels and strip windows. An unusual feature is an elliptical stair / lift core
that forms a transition between the building and the ‘Wing Over Station’
building. An unsightly and clumsy bridge at the rear links four levels of the
building to 55 Broadway

100 Petty France is to be retained and converted into hotel bedrooms.

WING OVER STATION

The Wing Over Station building was developed as an e
Railways House in 1922 – 24 to designs by Sir Albert Ric
Charles Gill. It has no street elevations and is utilitarian
was innovative for its time as an early example of a bui
railway line.

Transport for London who have sold the site to

moving to other office buildings in the capital which
meet the requirements of modern office occupiers.

Whilst retaining many of its historic features, the
building is tired internally and in need of investment
to sensitively facilitate its renewal.

At ground floor, there is the 55 Broadway arcade
which was introduced in the 1980s and comprises a
series of small retail units, as well as the entrance to St
James’s Park underground station.

In the centre of the ground floor, is the reception
area for the office building, which means users of the
underground who are approaching from the south
are required to undertake a circuitous route through
the arcade.

Our Vision for 55 Broadway

Integrity International Group, as the new long-term custodians of 55 Broadway, has
three principle objectives for the future of this landmark building.

1. To open-up 55 Broadway for public benefit by providing access, supporting the
community and contributing to the local economy.

2. To cherish the building and celebrate its heritage.
3. To create a high-quality hotel worthy of the building, to be owned and operated by a

dedicated hotel expert.
