Abstract: |
London Safe Deposit Company Vault Dorland House, Regent Street, London, SW1 City of Westminster. A Standing Buildings Photographic Survey. National Grid reference: TQ 29616 80552 Planning reference 12/08886/FULL: Condition 33 Site code: SJE13 A standing building photographic survey was undertaken by Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) of the London Safe Deposit Company's vault in the lower basement of Dorland House, Regent Street, London SW1. The survey commissioned by the Crown Estate was required as a condition of planning consent for redevelopment of the buildings on the site (application 12/08886/FULL, condition 33). The survey took place on 06 September 2013. Dorland House was constructed in 1924-28 to designs by JJ Joass. The London Safe Deposit Company's vault was fitted out by the Chubb Lock company and opened by Sir Josiah Stamp on 14th December 1931. A notable client of the company was Queen Mary, the wife of King George V, who retained a safe box in the vault between March 1932 and January 1947. The vault occupied space in the lower basement below 18 - 20 Regent Street. The vaults were located in two interconnected rooms on the south-east side of the basement, whilst a reception area and office accommodation were located to their north-west. |
