  • The Site and Context
    Section 01 The Site and Context 8 27 GOSWELL ROAD 9 THE LOCATION The building fronts directly onto Goswell Road, a Medieval street that runs from Angel in the north to the City of London to the south. The land was originally owned by the Charterhouse but was not developed until the late 19th Century where three warehouses, numbers 1-3 Charterhouse Buildings were constructed. These buildings were destroyed in 1885 in a fire that destroyed most of the surrounding buildings; the rebuilt buildings were subsequently destroyed by bombing in the mid 20th Century. The site lay vacant until the late 1960s when it was developed and became Litton House. This was subsequently demolished in the late 1980s and replaced by the current building on the site. The nearest London Underground Stations are Barbican and Old Street. The eastern ticket hall for Farringdon Crossrail station will be opening in late 2019, on Charterhouse Street. The height of the buildings in the immediate context vary from four to nine storeys with larger residential towers nearby. The site has the following boundaries: - A boundary to the south and to the rear is shared with the William Harvey Heart Centre - A boundary to the north is shared with no. 4 Charterhouse Buildings, Goswell Road - Nos. 14-15 Charterhouse Buildings borders at the rear Crescent House, a grade II listed building as part of the Golden Lane Estate, runs along Goswell Road directly opposite. The area has a mixture of uses with no one dominant type. Most of the east side of Goswell Road is residential in character, whereas most of the west is commercial.
