More misery ahead for people living in Fitzrovia at Euston Road and Warren Street as works to excavate a basement and construct a new building are due to start this autumn.
Medical Team Ltd gained planning permission from Camden Council in 2025 for the demolition of a single-storey retail unit at 335 Euston Road (behind 54 Warren Street) to construct a three-storey building and basement for a new private medical centre (2024/3497/P).
A shoe repair shop operated from the single-storey site until recently.
The new building will match the height of the neighbouring property at 337 Euston Road.
Project managers Eco Home London Ltd are now inviting local residents to review the draft construction management plan (CMP) which sets out how and when the work will be done, and to ask if they have any comments to make on the impact the nearly two-year project will have.
The 160 page CMP states that the start of work is due on 27 October 2026, with the basement excavation works expected to take around six months, followed by a further 10 to 14 months for completion of the above ground storeys.
“The overall construction programme is therefore anticipated to be approximately 16-20 months,” states the draft CMP.
Removal and delivery of material will be by lorries which will load and unload on the carriageway in front of 335 Euston Road.
A gantry over the footway to service the site has already been assembled.
Excavation, demolition and construction work will be carried out from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Due to the site’s location within the central London Cumulative Impact Area, work will not be carried out on Saturdays, except when agreed with Camden Council. No work on Sundays and public holidays is permitted.
Noise and vibration from the basement excavation and subsequent piling and underpinning is likely to be significant.
The site has been registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) and the Construction, Logistics, and Community Safety scheme (Clocs).
Some heavy lorry movements to and from the site will be scheduled between approximately 10am and 4pm to avoid peak road traffic hours, and air and noise pollution will be monitored.
Comments on the draft CMP can be made until 30 October 2026 using a form on the dedicated website or by contacting the project team.
