Security check at the entrance they serve snacks throughout your evening spent at the tables. The Sportsman Casino, established in the 70’s, is the London club that has most often changed location. Originally established on the Tottenham Court Road, it then relocated to Bryanston Street. When the Bryanston Street lease expired, it was moved again to its current location in Old Quebec Street, very close to Marble Arch.
As part of the wider Tottenham Court Road Crossrail station project, we were appointed to prepare proposals for and deliver the over site development (OSD) above the Western Ticket Hall as well as integrate the associated smoke and ventilation shaft.
The site comprises two city blocks bound by Dean Street to the east and Oxford Street to the north. In total the OSD comprises 92 residential apartments with the station entrance and retail spaces integrated at ground floor level.

The challenge
A key challenge was to secure planning consent for a residential led over site development in this location. Proposals were developed in close consultation with Westminster City Council, GLA, Historic England, CABE and TfL, to respond sensitively to the historic context of Soho and the eclectic commercial context of Oxford Street. Public consultation in the form of a walk in exhibition was held near the site, for which a model and presentation boards were prepared. An analysis of the urban context concluded that despite their proximity the two blocks should be of distinctively different architectural characters.
The big idea
The development is divided into two buildings. The Oxford Street block is larger in scale and the materiality reflects 'retail-centric' character onto which it fronts. The Dean Street block responds to the Soho aesthetic, with traditional brick and concrete cladding split into 3 distinctive blocks to reflect the historic Georgian townhouse typology synonymous with the Soho context.
The design required the consideration of interlocking programmes of the over site development and station, which were designed to maximise active frontages for the proposed retail spaces while making the station entrance clearly legible and ensuring that residential entrances have strong identities.
The proposals also considered the reconfiguration and redesign of the public realm that served the station and the wider environs.
The small detail
Elements of the two buildings retain a memory of the buildings that were taken down to make way for the new railway. Ornamented panels in the Oxford Street block are based on the etched glass windows of the Bath House pub that once stood on the corner of Fareham Street, while tobacco-coloured glazed bricks form the retail plinth of the smaller building continue the memory of Victorian pub architecture. References are also taken from further afield; the polished black concrete façade of the main building is a reference to the art deco glamour of the Marks & Spencer Pantheon building further along Oxford Street.
As part of Crossrail 1 Elizabeth Line, Europe’s largest infrastructure project, HawkinsBrown are currently delivering three new Crossrail stations at Tottenham Court Road, Bond Street and Liverpool Street. Tottenham Court Road is a significant interface for the new Crossrail line and London Underground network; in addition to the new Crossrail station and over site development, we also recently completed an upgrade to the existing Underground station.
