AHMM’s proposals to redevelop the West One Shopping Centre on Oxford Street

The scheme by AHMM was given the green light in summer 2022 and the practice’s plans will see the demolition of much of the six-storey West One Shopping Centre, above the southern entrance to Bond Street underground station.

The current building’s top four storeys will go altogether and its first and ground floor levels will be partly removed – along with the facades of the retained sections of the building.

British Land is developing the job with Norges Bank Investment Management, the Norwegian investor which has a 75% stake in the scheme.
