LCC-LFB Manchester Square fire station

Manchester Square fire station, Chiltern Street, W1, built 1888, now closed. By 1900 a number of new fire stations were being opened across London: many were substantial and elegant buildings.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Manchester Square Fire Station, a magnificent edifice built in 1888 for the London Fire Brigade (LFB) in the heart of London's West End. Located on Chiltern Street in the W1 postal district, this district station was a significant part of the city's firefighting infrastructure, overseeing the operations of no fewer than 18 stations. With its elegant Edwardian architecture, the building was not only a functional fire station but also provided family accommodation for the firefighters on call, ensuring they were always ready to respond to emergencies. By the turn of the 20th century, London was expanding rapidly, and the LFB responded by opening a number of new, substantial fire stations across the city. Manchester Square Fire Station, with its impressive red brick facade and ornate detailing, was a testament to the commitment of the LFB to providing top-notch firefighting services to the residents of London. The station remained in operation until the early 21st century, when it was repurposed for commercial use. Today, the building is home to the Chiltern Firehouse restaurant, a trendy dining destination that pays homage to its historic past. Although the building's commercial use may be a departure from its original purpose, it remains a reminder of the rich history of London's firefighting heritage.
