"110 Queen's Walk was London's City Hall until 2021, but for the last five years it has sat empty, and its famous glass windows have been removed, leaving behind a metal shell."
"Gensler architects, one of the groups behind the project, has released conceptual drawings of what the building is due to look like, with the old glass shell removed and replaced with rounded terraces and balconies covered in green plants."
"Under plans from its landlord, St Martins Property Investment, the building is set to be converted into a new retail and dining hub, with five spaces available for new cafes, shops and restaurants, and the creation of a new food hall."
"The plans will also see the sunken amphitheatre beside it - The Scoop - turned into an events and commercial space. 'Gensler has developed plans to sensitively refurbish and revitalise the vacant building located at 110 The Queen's Walk, formerly known as City Hall, and its surrounding public realm,' the firm says on its website."
110 Queen's Walk, a 10-story Thames-side building next to Potter's Field, served as London’s City Hall until 2021 and has been empty for five years with its glass windows removed. Built in 2002, the site is being redeveloped under plans confirmed since 2023. Conceptual drawings from Gensler show the glass shell removed and replaced with rounded terraces and green-planted balconies. St Martins Property Investment plans a conversion into a retail and dining hub with five spaces for cafes, shops, and restaurants, plus a new food hall. The sunken amphitheatre, The Scoop, will be transformed into an events and commercial space.
