Famous London architecture
The London skyline is distinctive and easily recognisable with its modern skyscrapers, Shard and Gherkin giving way to the London Eye and more classical buildings of the West End and Westminster. This is a city rich in architectural history, from the iconic Tower Bridge to the breathtaking arches of St Pancras Station, which utilised the work of talented London interior architects. Many of London’s most beautiful buildings have stood the test of time, none more so than 700-year-old Westminster Abbey and Sir Christopher Wren’s domed St Paul’s Cathedral, which have seen more than their fair share of high profile weddings and funerals. Buckingham Palace is the most famous of London’s buildings with its lavishly decorate state rooms and regal opulence. Somerset House is one of the capital’s most striking buildings, built in the neoclassical style and situated overlooking the River Thames.
The London interior architects at Callender Howorth draw inspiration from the plethora of buildings that shape the Big Smoke’s skyline. The capital is awash with a diverse array of architectural marvels. London is also a city of history and tradition; this, too, is something that refines the quality of our work.

What have we designed in London?
Callender Howorth London interior architects are extremely experienced in designing a tailored setting for residences and workspaces. One of our most high-profile projects was a large-scale renovation on Kensington’s exclusive Boltons. We transformed a Kensington house that had not been updated for 30 years into an airy and aesthetically pleasing 5-storey home for a young family with five children. The design was practical as well as stylish and utilised warm, soft colours to give the house a feeling of comfort whilst preserving a sense of spaciousness.
At a project close to Regents Park, Callender Howorth transformed a charming set of mews houses into a contemporary residence to envy. Incorporating an innovative pool, the project utilised an unusual space to create a truly spectacular property. Our scrupulous attention to detail has meant that Callender Howorth has been sought out for numerous high-end renovations in areas as diverse as Mayfair, Islington and Knightsbridge.
