Help shape the plans for the future of 8 Albert Embankment
In late 2024 our Community Engagement team gathered feedback from the local community on proposals for 8 Albert Embankment. Since then the feedback has been reviewed and the proposals further developed.
These proposals aim to secure the future of the building and deliver:
- A refurbished and upgraded Grade II Listed building, bringing it back into use as the Brigade’s new Headquarters.
- A new space that will allow events and exhibitions on the ground floor.
- An updated fit-for-purpose fire station on the site. The central location of this site is important for the delivery of our operational response to fires and other emergencies in the capital.
Plans for the Lambeth High Street and Newport Street sites (that were part of previous planning applications) are being considered separately by London Fire Brigade together with the Greater London Authority (GLA).
The map below shows the new proposed development area site and the separate Lambeth High Street and Newport Street sites.
Join the conversation
The views and insights of the local community are important to us, and we’re committed to understanding their wants and needs. As we further develop plans for this site we’ll continue to work with the local community.
Consultation materials
Our second round of consultation for the proposals has now closed. Here are the materials shared with the community during the first and second round of consultation:
Mailing list
Please sign-up to the project mailing list to received updates on engagement opportunities. Your support in raising awareness of these engagement opportunities helps ensure that the local community is included in the proposals.
New community engagement forum
We’ll continue to engage with local residents about the application and proposals for the Lambeth Fire Station site. We’ll be doing this via a new Community Engagement Forum.
The Forum will be held three times a year, at regular intervals. It will give you the opportunity to get updates from us on the progress of the application. If you're interested in joining the Forum sign-up to the project mailing list and we'll be in touch with further information when available.

Background
In 2021 the Secretary of State refused planning permission for 8 Albert Embankment. The Brigade and LandsecU+I (the previous development partner) worked hard to find a solution. However, both partners reached the conclusion that the Brigade needed to explore alternative options. As a result LandsecU+I and the Brigade have drawn their agreement to a close.
