Arding & Hobbs, Grade II listed department store at Lavender Hill, Clapham Junction, London, United Kingdom
The Arding & Hobbs building features a grand Edwardian Baroque architecture with a central stained glass dome and decorative stone facades across seven floors.
Established in 1876, the original structure burned down in 1909, leading to the construction of the current building in 1910 by architect James Gibson.
The department store appeared in the 1981 film Nighthawks and the 1994 episode of Mr. Bean, representing a significant retail landmark in South London.
Located adjacent to Clapham Junction Station, the building now houses TK Maxx, Amazon Fresh, and provides 90,000 square feet of workspace.
The renovation project incorporates a biodiverse green roof and carbon-neutral operations while maintaining the historical architectural elements of the 1920s structure.
