HLM’s Wellington Barracks plans hit right note

HLM Wellington 1

New rehearsal space for Coldstream Guards and other bands is set for approval

HLM Architects’ proposals for a new rehearsal hall at central London’s Wellington Barracks are being recommended for approval by Westminster City Council.

The practice’s plans will deliver larger practice space for the bands of the Foot Guards – which includes the Coldstream Guards, the Grenadier Guards, the Scots Guards, the Irish Guards and the Welsh Guards

Wellington Barracks’ current rehearsal rooms are sandwiched between a 1980s accommodation block at the site and the neighbouring Ministry of Justice building, designed by Fitzroy Robinson & Partners in conjunction with Basil Spence, which was completed in the late 1970s.
