Criterion Theatre

Restore London were appointed to carry out remedial works to the Grade II* Criterion Theatre canopy in the heart of Piccadilly Circus. Located in a busy pedestrian area, access scaffolding around the canopy was constructed out of hours to minimise risk & inconvenience to the public. Existing lead to the canopy was stripped and renewed in Code 6 leadwork,  including new flashings. Our team decorated all areas, including the surrounding façade, as well as restoration and decoration works to the ornate gold crest at the centre of the canopy structure. The team also restored the metal work, installing metal roses which were cast and fixed (which had been missing prior to the works).

Our works were completed to the highest quality, safely and on time ready for the reopening of the theatre, much to the delight of the Theatre Board of Directors.

“Restore London provided an outstanding turnkey service. Their professionalism, knowledge and ability to adapt to the tight constraints of the project were key to project success. The team delivered an outstanding final product, that will be admired for years to come. I can’t thank them enough for their exceptional delivery. ”

Jacques Mein MCIOB/MAPM

Associate Project Director, Mace

“Restore London brought a level of quality craftsmanship and skill that is rare in today’s construction market. They worked collaboratively, bringing their wealth of knowledge to every detail. Their contribution to the National Portrait Gallery can be seen wherever you look in the project. ”

Jamie Fobert CBE

Architect, Jamie Fobert Architects

“Restore London demonstrated exceptional technical expertise from the outset of the project, giving us the confidence and insight to make the right decisions for the building. Combined with their personable, proactive approach and highly experienced site management team, they were a pleasure to work with throughout. The quality of the finished work on this heritage building speaks for itself.”

Jason Smith

Client Representative, Pearl & Coutts

“Restore London made our specified repairs so that they are almost invisible when viewing the room as a whole, but are sufficiently different that an educated viewer could see where the mosaic had experienced areas of change when looking in detail. Perfect!” ”

Liz Smith

Chairperson & Regional Partner, Purcell

“It was a pleasure working with the Restore London team. They showed good team spirit coupled by a highly pro-active approach to problem solving & were able to resource the project during unforeseen circumstances, such as the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II. The quality of their workmanship was excellent. ”

Steve Baldock

Divisional Director, Curo Construction

“Restore London’s works were undertaken to the highest standards. The team’s attention to detail has been second to none & we would recommend Restore London to anyone seeking a strong team who can deliver.”
