Planning consent for 123 Judd Street

123 Judd Street for Dominus received planning consent at last night's (11 December 2025) Camden planning committee meeting. The scheme will transform an existing telephone exchange into a 240-bed high-quality hotel in King’s Cross. 

A plan of retaining, refurbishing and upgrading of the existing building will enhance 123 Judd Street’s environmental performance and support Camden’s Climate Action plan. The external walls and main structure of the building will be retained with a new set-back roof top extension. A central courtyard will be created as a welcoming, semi-private outdoor space that offers guests and visitors a place to relax and socialise within a garden-like setting. This along with a café will encourage public access and improve permeability of the site. The site sits within Bloomsbury Conservation Area, and the building is designated as a Bloomsbury Positive Building.

The project retains 100% of the substructure, 80% of the building’s existing structure, and targets BREEAM Excellent. Once operational, the hotel will be managed by the Dominus Hospitality platform and create over 100 jobs. 

A key part of the project is the launch of the Camden Hospitality Academy, delivered in partnership with The Springboard Charity. The academy will offer training, work placements and job opportunities for local residents, creating pathways into long-term careers in hospitality.

Congratulations to all the team working on this exciting project
