10 Trinity Square London : Architecture Information
Key Development by Woods Bagot in London, England, UK
CITY GIVES PLANNING CONSENT FOR LONDON'S MOST
LUXURIOUS NEW HOTEL
6 May 2009
The restoration of one of London's best known buildings - 10 Trinity
Square - has been recommended for planning approval by the City of
London Corporation.
US property company Thomas Enterprises has been working with international
architects Woods Bagot on the 45,000 sq m project to create a hotel
of the highest quality.

It will convert the Grade II* listed 10 Trinity Square into a 121-bedroom
hotel with spa and 30 apartments.
Rob Steul, Principal at Woods Bagot and designer of the proposed scheme,
said: "Our vision for 10 Trinity is to restore one of its most
important Grade II* listed buildings and create one of the finest
hotels in London.
"Trinity Square is a unique site in the Square Mile and overlooking
a World Heritage Site at the Tower of London. Upon completion the
hotel will be the only one of its kind serving the City and Canary
Wharf.
"Thomas Enterprises and Woods Bagot have been working with English
Heritage and the City of London to develop a design which removes
unsympathetic sixties extensions and restores the central rotunda
space to the building, which was lost during the Blitz. This generous
central space will become the new heart of the building, and rival
the scale of the Reading Room in the Great Court of the British Museum."
10 Trinity is the first venture for established US-entrepreneur Stan
Thomas into the UK market. His company, Thomas Enterprises, bought
the site in 2006.
Designed by Sir Edwin Cooper, 10 Trinity was built between 1915 and
1922, and was originally the headquarters of the Port of London Authority.
The central rotunda room was the grand main space of this building.
The venue once hosted the inaugural reception of the General Assembly
of the United Nations in 1946.
