Architecture firm Carter Gregson Gray has officially submitted comprehensive plans to refurbish and extend the historic London Stock Exchange building. The proposal represents a significant development in the ongoing transformation of one of London's most iconic financial district landmarks.
The submission comes as part of a broader wave of architectural activity across London, with multiple high-profile projects moving through the planning process. The London Stock Exchange renovation plans are expected to modernize the facility while preserving its historical significance and architectural heritage.
Meanwhile, other notable architectural developments are taking shape across the city. AHMM's Shoreditch hotel tower project is anticipated to receive approval this week following a reduction in the proposed building height, addressing previous concerns raised during the review process.
In the education sector, Adjaye Associates has been appointed to design a new education center in Rwanda, expanding the firm's international portfolio. Additionally, AHMM is currently developing plans for a student residential tower on the London Metropolitan University School of Architecture site, further contributing to the capital's evolving skyline.
Several restoration and redevelopment projects are also making headlines. Purcell has successfully completed the restoration of St. Bartholomew's Hospital's Grade I-listed North Wing, preserving an important piece of London's medical heritage. BDP has transformed disused garages into social housing in Bristol, demonstrating innovative approaches to urban regeneration.
Other significant planning approvals include Vabel's successful application for the Queensway Parade development in Bayswater. The project adds to the growing list of developments reshaping London's residential and commercial landscape, reflecting the city's continued growth and architectural evolution.
