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 comprises the internal upgrading with roof extension of the original historic parts of the church facing Birkenhead Street, as well as the rebuilding of the 1950s extension facing the Crestfield Street side. This fulfils a brief to deliver a mix of modern church/ community-spaces, along with upgraded student accommodation, which when implemented will bring the building up to full contemporary design and technical 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.
