JRA revitalises 18th-century enclave in the City of London

John Robertson Architects (JRA) has completed the sensitive refurbishment and restoration of 1-3 and 7-8 Frederick?s Place, and 35 Old Jewry, as part of its master plan for the Mercers? Company.

JRA?s master plan ? which provides a framework for the regeneration of the Mercers? home estate next to their livery hall in The City of London ? extends the economic life of the existing buildings through extensive renovation, updating them for contemporary office use. The principal design strategies were to refurbish sensitively the listed (and non-listed) buildings, revitalise Frederick?s Place by incorporating different uses and improve and enrich the public realm. JRA?s work respects the character, quality and historic fabric of the buildings, several of which are Grade II listed.
Situated within the historic Guildhall conservation area in the heart of the City of London, this quiet 18th-century Georgian enclave forms an attractive cul-desac accessed from Old Jewry in the east and bounded by Cheapside

and Becket House to the south and Ironmonger Lane to the west.

The pedestrian thoroughfare of St Olave?s Court forms the northern boundary of the site.
