New lease of life for former Hampstead police station with plans for homes and offices
The Grade II listed building has stood largely empty since it was sold for over £14million in 2013.
A former police station in Hampstead is set to be converted into homes and offices, according to a planning application.
The 111-year-old Arts & Crafts building on Rosslyn Hill, in Hampstead, was once home to Britain’s first juvenile court.
The Standard reported last year that the owners of the Grade II listed landmark won planning permission for their conversion plans from Camden council.
According to the planning application, the former police station will be transformed into five residential units. It will also include a space for private healthcare and commercial floorspace.
This renovation will be a considerable undertaking, involving the removal of cells and partitions, as well as significant alterations to the court roof and staircases.

“Change of use from former police station (sui generis) to providefive5 residential units (Use Class C3) and commercial floorspace (Use Class E), space for a private healthcare use (Use Class E(e)), three storey and four storey rear extensions, replacement of windows, external alterations, landscaping, cycle and refuse storage, rooftop plant and associated ancillary works.
