Ardmore is a frontrunner in the delivery of major projects across London. We have established a reputation for successful large-scale new build and regeneration schemes. Our iconic projects include the Corinthia Hotel, Churchill’s Old War Office, the Greenwich Peninsula, and many more.

As our business continues to grow, we've secured a series of significant projects. These ventures encompass an array of architectural gems, some Grade-Listed, some opulent residential builds, and some, cutting-edge mixed-use developments. We build hotels, schools, medical centres, high-rise homes, offices, parks, playgrounds – every facility our great city needs. We do it with passion, with sensitivity, and with style!
