St Mark's

Built

Thomas Erskine

The restoration and reuse of Grade I listed St Mark's, Mayfair, has enhanced the significance of its Regency exterior and plan form through conservation, and extended its life as a public space.

NEW LONDON AWARDS 2020

Shortlisted in the CONSERVING category

St. Marks North Audley Street closed to the general public in 1974 when it was deconsecrated. The recent restoration and repurposing of this Grade I listed 19th Century building has reasserted its extraordinary Regency facade on the street. The meticulous conservation has opened up its colourful Romanesque Victorian interior, for a new purpose as community space and food market. Once a decaying abandoned church, the building is now financially viable and acts as an urban focus, contributing both to the heritage and the socio-economic wellbeing of North Audley Street.
