Burberry Headquarters (former), Haymarket, London



Architect
Walter Cave
Date Built
1913
Location
Haymarket, London
Description
Thomas Burberry founds Burberry's in 1853, when he was 21 years of age.  His aim was to producing innovative functional outerwear.  It was 38 years later that the company opened its first London shop at 30 Haymarket.  The company's reputation grew and in 1913 they moved into this building further along the street at number 18 - 21 designed by Walter Cave.

Burberry's continued to trade in Haymarket until 2007 when they moved to a new headquarters building on Horseferry Road.  When these images were taken the building was empty.  It has been suggested that its future may be as a luxury boutique hotel, a high-end retail outlet or as residential accommodation.
