Article Abstract:

Architects working on the transformation of the former Liverpool Street station into a modern, yet Victorian-styled hotel had to cope with many serious flaws in the original design and construction of the station's buildings. One of the main aims of the restoration was to retain many of the most outstanding original features and combine them with modern hotel fixtures, such as lighting and heating systems. The Manser Practise was the main architect involved in the design of the Great Eastern Hotel, London.
