The Trafalgar Buildings are a set of Grade II listed[1] buildings on the corner of Trafalgar Square and Whitehall in London.
History
[edit]The Trafalgar Buildings were built as part of a broader development by Frederick Gordon which included many hotels along Northumberland Avenue. The road had been newly built as a cut through from Trafalgar Square to the Victoria Embankment on the former site of Northumberland House.[2]
They were designed by Frederick John and Horace Francis and built between 1882 and 1883. Additions by Edwin Cooper were carried out in 1913.[2]
The buildings were used as offices, with refurbishment first proposed in 2020. In 2025, an application for converting the buildings into a hotel was rejected but later given the go-ahead in 2026.[3][4]
