252 Grays Inn Road
A major refurbishment project at 252 Grays Inn Road, London, has officially been completed, delivering 8,000 square feet of high-quality commercial office space in the heart of the capital. This transformative scheme brings a contemporary standard to a classic building, combining modern performance with retained architectural character.
Located in one of London’s most vibrant business areas, the redevelopment meets the increasing demand for efficient, flexible, and sustainable workplaces. The works were extensive, with upgrades spanning nearly every element of the building.
Key Elements of the Refurbishment
New roof and slate finish: The building has been fully re-roofed using high-quality slate, offering improved insulation, durability and weather resistance.
Retention of decorative truss: The original decorative timber truss has been carefully preserved, maintaining the character and heritage of the structure.
Reconfigured internal layout: The removal of a redundant second stair core has allowed for a more spacious and open floor plate, improving layout flexibility.
New balconies: Additional balconies provide valuable outdoor space for occupiers, encouraging well-being and offering informal breakout areas.
Full CAT A fit-out: The entire building has received a Category A fit-out, including new ceilings, lighting, raised access floors and updated common parts, ready for tenant fit-out.
Upgraded building services:
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems have been fully replaced with modern, efficient alternatives.
A new HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system ensures year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
All toilet facilities have been replaced and upgraded to a high specification.
Accessibility and end-of-trip facilities:
DDA-compliant access has been introduced, including step-free entry points and improved circulation throughout.
A new lift shaft has been installed to provide easy access across all floors.
A secure bike store has been added to support sustainable commuting options.
