TFL-Approved Shop Fit-Outs in Belgravia.
Retail units in stations are a market of their own. The work is approved by TFL's commercial team and the station operator before it starts, most of it happens after the last train, and the materials have to meet the fire and smoke standards for enclosed stations. We are approved to do this work and have fitted out units at London Bridge, Uxbridge and Acton Central stations and Harrow-on-the-Hill bus station.
For an operator taking a unit at a station serving Belgravia, we prepare the drawings, materials schedule, method statements and risk assessments the approval needs, build the counters and joinery off site, and install with our own trades in the access windows the station allows.
The opening date in the lease is the fixed point. We plan the programme backwards from it, book the night-time access in advance and hand over with the certificates the operator and TFL require.

Belgravia: the houses and the planning rules.
Belgravia was built by Thomas Cubitt for the Grosvenor estate in the 1820s and 1830s and it has barely changed since: cream stucco terraces around Eaton Square, Belgrave Square and Chester Square, with cobbled mews behind. The whole district is a conservation area, most houses are listed, and the Grosvenor estate remains the freeholder of much of it.
Work here is nearly always to a listed building, which means listed building consent, a heritage statement and an approach that treats the historic fabric as the priority. Within that we fit kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and services to modern standards, and convert mews houses into complete homes.
The Belgravia Conservation Area covers the whole district, and the majority of the houses are Grade II or II* listed.
Westminster City Council
Westminster decides planning and listed building applications for the whole of Belgravia, with detailed conservation area guidance and long-standing policies on roof extensions and basements.
Grosvenor estate
Grosvenor's own consent is required for most alterations on the estate, with its own design guidance and surveyors.
Listed interiors
Cornices, staircases, chimneypieces and joinery are part of the listing; changes need consent and specialist trades.
