"The site is currently vacant and the LFB's plans will refurbish office space and bring it back to life. The force has said the offices will be home to essential support services that make up its headquarters function. Alongside the renovated office space, work will be carried out to upgrade and refit Lambeth Fire Station, with new equipment stores and workspaces. There will also be remodelled accommodation for firefighters."
"Extra care will be taken to preserve key historic elements found in the listed building's original design. The LFB will also invest in a training space in the yard at the site as well as a drill tower. A new space will also be created, centred around the Brigade's existing Memorial Hall, which commemorates firefighters who have died in the line of duty."
