Historic Southall Shoe Shop Gains Approval for Four New Flats: A Blend of Old and New

A beloved shoe shop in Southall, West London, has been given the green light to build four new flats above its store. The modern footwear shop, known for its boot repair and sales, will remain on the ground floor. The new four-story building will feature three two-bedroom units and a one-bedroom duplex, each with a private balcony and access to a shared rooftop terrace. The design draws inspiration from a nineteenth-century bank and a nearby Gurdwara, preserving the areas historic charm. The development aligns with the areas commitment to sustainability, with electric boilers, rooftop solar panels, and secure bike storage. The project was approved in March 2026, but construction must begin within three years, with necessary materials and soundproofing approved by the council.
