BT Tower, 60 Cleveland Street, Fitzrovia, London W1T 4JZ, United Kingdom
About this story
MCR proposes a hotel-led mixed-use conversion of the BT Tower, Podium and Howland Building. The scheme would restore and reuse the listed complex, open the top of the tower and podium buildings to the public for the first time in nearly 50 years, introduce retail and restaurants, create a new public square and walking routes, and provide a publicly accessible pool. The application follows two rounds of consultation involving more than 350 exhibition attendees and over 170 submitted comments.
Status and timeline
Planning application 2026/3799/P has been submitted to the London Borough of Camden and remains pending. No confirmed construction or opening date is stated on the official consultation site.
Design highlights
Retrofit-first retention of the landmark structure; adaptive reuse of telecommunications infrastructure; restoration of a postwar listed building; renewed public access to the tower; public square, pedestrian routes and pool.
