CR Construction (U.K.) Company Limited (CRUK) have delivered a new landmark for Shepherds Bush when practical completion was achieved.

The historical site and project has been developed for Far East Consortium as a mixed entertainment space and 74-unit self-serviced accommodation complex which will be operated by Dorsett Hospitality International as an extension to their existing hotel.

CRUK have acknowledged and respected the history and heritage behind the ‘Walkabout site’ which was originally built in 1910 as the Shepherds Bush Cinematograph Theatre and finally ending up as part of the Walkabout Australian pub theme and chain.

The historic façade has been retained along with other heritage features such as inscription panels advertising the price of historic cinema tickets which has gained very good feedback from the HFBC planning department. An historic blue plaque was also installed as part of the planning conditions.

The project appearance has received great reviews from the local residents and general public alike.
