Award-winning commercial design at the heart of St Albans!
We are thrilled to receive the St Albans Civic Society Award for best Commercial Design in the Business Category last night with Guy Bostock of Concorde BGW Group. The Saint and Sinner is our fabulous Grade 2* listed building in the centre of St Albans which was previously occupied by a building society.
From the St Albans Civic Society: The Saint & Sinner pub and restaurant has undergone a vibrant and overarching renovation, utterly changed from its previous life as a building society by a stylish, some might say ‘miraculous’, transformation, which brings many of its previous hidden assets to life, including rooms with plaster work in Adam style. Built in the 1760’s, previously described as a “country house in town”, known as The Grange, with grounds that stretched to Victoria Street. this Grade II listed building was once home to John Osborn, three times mayor of St Albans. The beautiful old building now shines and it’s a far cry from its previous use as a building society branch. The new owners, McMullens, were generous in praise of its previous occupants, stating that, however un-glitzy its interiors, “Nationwide looked after the building really well”. The new owners are now equally careful custodians, giving this historic venue a new and hopefully long life.
An acquisition and development during lockdown, and opening a mere 11 months ago, this pub has really shone, and has become a huge part of the St Albans community.
