Kingston House is a multi storey office development built 1965-7 to the design of Fry, Drew and Partners.
[5][6] The building was originally intended to form part of an (unbuilt) wider redevelopment in the area, including a hotel, shopping centre on the other side of Bond Street.
[10] In 2014 the council offered the building for sale after relocating staff based there as part of cost-cutting exercises;[10] demolition and wider redevelopment were seen at the time as potential options for the site,[7] alternative plans (2015, withdrawn) included redevelopment of the buildings as apartments.
[11] As of 2014 the buildings were also used for various telecommunications equipment including aerial leases to Vodafone, Arqiva, Orange PCS, Cable & Wireless, and EE/Hutchison 3G.
In September 2017 the company announced plans to convert the building into a combination development named "K2", consisting of a 100-bed hotel, 14 apartments, and office space.
