Luxury hotel plans submitted for Custom House
Briefly

The historic Grade I listed Custom House on the River Thames is set for potential transformation into a luxury hotel with 179 rooms. Previously occupied by HMRC until 2021, a prior development proposal was rejected in 2022. The new plans involve a cultural approach to the site's historical significance, including a spa and food and drink areas. The developer, Jastar Capital, aims to enhance public access along the Thames and provide community-focused spaces. Architects Orms emphasize the site’s heritage while envisioning its revitalization for modern use.
