Aviation House, Grade II listed building in Kingsway, London, England.
Aviation House is a Grade II listed building on Kingsway in London's Camden Borough that was originally built as a church. It features a Portland stone facade with Edwardian Baroque architecture inspired by the Roman style of the Church of Santa Maria della Pace.
The structure was built between 1909 and 1911 as the Church of the Holy Trinity, replacing the Little Queen Street Chapel that was demolished during construction of the Piccadilly line. These major construction projects in the area reshaped the urban landscape of Kingsway.
The building shows how London's religious spaces have transformed and now serve new purposes while keeping their heritage status. Visitors can still see the original grandeur of the interior design even though it now functions as a modern office building.
The building stands at 125 Kingsway and serves today as a modern coworking office space while remaining accessible from the outside to admire its architectural features. The area has good public transport connections and allows visitors to explore the facade and details on a busy street.
The original church design included plans for a tower that was never built due to financial constraints in the early 1900s. This unrealized component reveals the economic pressures facing London's construction projects during that period.
