The head of the Savile Row tailors’ association today said he was “shocked and horrified” by Westminster council officers’ recommendation to reject plans to demolish an empty police station and replace it with a new building that would include an academy for apprentice tailors.
Mark Henderson, chair of Savile Row Bespoke and a former chair of Royal warrant holder Gieves & Hawke, said the proposed office, restaurant and affordable tailoring workspace scheme from Czech developer CPI Property would revitalise the northern end of one of the world’s most famous addresses.
