The works are a mixture of structural and non-structural alterations to buildings prominent already by their height and modernity in this part of Westminster and complete demolition of certain existing edifices, their redesign and replacement.
The site measures approximately 0.5 hectares (1.2 acres) on the south side of Strand, facing St Clement Danes church, between Arundel Street and Milford Lane.
[1][2] Upon completion, the modern Maltravers Street, an east–west alley between Arundel Street and Milford Lane, ceased to exist as part of the approved plans, but Tweezer's Alley on the southern side has been enhanced.
Immediately to the south of the site is Globe House, the headquarters of British American Tobacco.
[4][5] The principal buildings of the development have been named after local people and places.
