A tailor-made joinery project for 80 The Strand, London
80 The Strand, also known as the iconic Grade II* Shell Mex House, stands as a beacon of historical and architectural significance in London, originally constructed in 1931.
Nestled between The Adelphi building and The Savoy Hotel, the building boasts an art deco style, famously featuring London’s largest clock face, affectionately referred to as ‘Big Benzene’. Steinwood was commissioned to bring its interior design expertise to this landmark, enhancing its historical prestige with contemporary functionality.
