Refurbishment plans for Hammer House on Wardour Street may result in the replacement of the historic sign linked to Hammer Film Productions. Originally known for horror films from the mid-1950s to the 1970s, Hammer Film Productions operated from this location beginning in the late 1940s. The Soho Society is advocating for either the retention of the sign or the installation of a replica. The proposed upgrades will focus on the building's rear and address signage and doors, aiming to create new quality workspaces while honoring the building's history.
The Hammer House sign on Wardour Street harkens back to the building's former use as the home of Hammer Film Productions, known for its horror movies.
The Soho Society is requesting the sign either be retained or replaced with a facsimile of the original during the refurbishment plans.
Hammer Film Productions, founded in 1934, is most closely associated with horror films, including the Count Dracula series and The Mummy (1959).
The wider plans for Hammer House aim to refurbish the building true to its original form, creating quality new workspaces and a roof terrace.
