Construction of new office buildings at 40 and 80 Pelham Street
In November 2021, our proposals to redevelop the two sites were approved by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC).
The Wellcome Trust has a long-standing history in South Kensington and will continue to be a part of the community for years to come. We are therefore committed to delivering these developments sensitively and with respect to our neighbours.
