Matthew Lloyd Architects were invited by West London Mission in 2020 to work with them to develop design for the restoration and extension of King’s Cross Methodist Church.

The proposals involve internal upgrades to the existing fabric and reconstruction of the Crestfield Street extension in order to deliver a mix of community-centred uses and student accommodation for the benefit of Methodism in Camden, as well as providing contemporary shared living spaces that meet current technical design standards.

The proposals follow retrofit principles in order to retain the historic presence of the building in the street and to promote longer-term sustainability goals.
