Cubitts opens City site on Cheapside

Cubitts opened a new practice on Cheapside in the City of London on April 4, which became the independent’s 13th site.

Tom Broughton, founder of Cubitts, said: ‘With each store we open, we ensure the area’s culture and history is incorporated into the selection and design process. With Cheapside, the building’s history tells its own story and we’re delighted to sit amongst a fascinating carousel of dwellers and be part of its timeline.’

The practice is located at the former home of L&R Wooderson hosiers, glovers and shirtmakers, and Cubitts incorporated the history of the building into its renovation with parquet flooring featured. L&R Wooderson signage has been uncovered and put back on display, and a basement was restored to house Cubitts’ eye examination services. The site was also home to a publisher of political cartoons and prints from 1825 to 1835 and Cubitts has recreated four pieces of artwork to be displayed in practice.
