Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Gardiner and Theobald LLP on behalf of King's College London (University of London) to undertake building recording of the East Wing of Somerset House, City of Westminster, centred on OS NGR TQ 30781 80825. The Grade I listed building lies within the Strand Conservation Area. Planning permission has been granted for the educational use of the East Wing by King's College London. The building recording was carried out as a condition of planning permission in accordance with English Heritage Levels 3 and 4 in 2010 and 2011 before and during the refurbishment works. In 1775 William Chambers, the Comptroller of the King's Works was appointed architect to a scheme to provide new purpose-built accommodation for a number of previously dispersed government offices on the site of old Somerset House. An unrivalled sequence of architectural drawings, ranging from Chambers' own 'practically-as-executed' plans of the 1770s to the modernisation plans of the late 1960s enabled the development of the building to be charted over the course of the following two centuries in conjunction with observations made during the building recording process.
