Shop, Café & Restaurant Fit-Outs in Regent's Park.

A commercial fit-out is judged on one thing: whether the doors open on the date agreed. We have fitted out cafés, patisseries, restaurants and shops across London, including units in stations where working hours are tightly controlled, and we plan every job backwards from the opening date.

The work covers design and drawings, the landlord's approval, planning permission for shopfronts and signage, building control, and the fit-out itself: partitions, services, extraction, counters and joinery, flooring, lighting and decoration. Where the unit is trading, we build joinery off site and install overnight.

For a unit in Regent's Park we start with the lease and the landlord's requirements, check what the London Borough of Camden and the City of Westminster will need for the shopfront and any change of use, and then agree a fixed programme with you.

Regent's Park: the houses and the planning rules.

The terraces around Regent's Park are among the most protected houses in Britain: John Nash's stucco palaces on the Outer Circle are Grade I listed and held on Crown Estate leases, with the Camden side of the park administered by Camden and the Westminster side by Westminster. Behind them, Primrose Hill and the streets towards Camden Town are Victorian and largely within conservation areas.

Several of our most demanding projects are here: three vaults under a Grade I listed house enlarged into a habitable basement floor, a loft opened into a roof terrace with a bespoke glass skylight, and bathrooms and bedrooms refurbished under listed building consent. Working in these houses means drawings first, consent second and building third.

The Regent's Park Conservation Area covers the whole district, and the Nash terraces are Grade I listed.

Two planning authorities

Camden covers the north and east of the park, Westminster the south and west. Both apply conservation-area policies and both consult Historic England on Grade I and II* proposals.

Listed building consent

Internal alterations to the Nash terraces and villas need listed building consent. Heritage statements, careful detailing and reversible interventions are expected.

Crown Estate leases

Many terraces are on Crown Estate leases with their own approval process, which runs alongside the council's.

Internal fit-out rarely needs planning permission, but new shopfronts, signage and changes of use do, and landlords have their own approval process. Food premises need extraction and drainage designed to building regulations and environmental health requirements.

Common questions

Shop, Café & Restaurant Fit-Outs in Regent's Park: your questions.

Can you fit out a shop or café in Regent's Park around trading hours?

Yes. We plan the programme around your opening hours and the landlord's rules, building joinery off site and installing overnight where necessary.

Do I need permission for a new shopfront?

Usually yes. Shopfront changes need planning permission from the London Borough of Camden and the City of Westminster and illuminated signage needs advertisement consent. We prepare and submit both.

Which parts of Regent's Park do you cover?

All of Regent's Park and NW1, including Outer Circle, Chester Terrace, Cumberland Terrace, Park Village, Albany Street, Gloucester Gate, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
