Belsize Park Fire Station – Camden

Built in 1915 by Charles Canning Windmill, Belsize Fire Station is a Grade II* Listed building located in Belsize Park, London. Closed in January 2014, it was described as ‘one of the most distinctive and original of a remarkable series of fire stations’ in London.

This development included extending and converting the historic building into 18 residential apartments, retaining the heritage features of the fire station and building on the existing historic character. Key spaces were preserved and the distinctive white glazed brick and timber paneling repaired. There were minimal alterations to the external building fabric, with dormers and a new extension finished carefully to match the existing Arts and Crafts details.
