The store closed in 1982, and after housing Tower Records, Virgin Megastore, Zavvi and The Sting in turn, the building is to be refurbished by the Crown Estate as 10 Piccadilly. The sheet also shows the Regent Palace Hotel, Europe's largest hotel in 1915, filling a whole block, with its kitchens and service accommodation identified beside the public rooms. The hotel closed in 2006 and became Quadrant 3 in 2011 after substantial demolition and rebuilding, with offices, shops, homes and restaurants, retained façades and restored and reinstated historic interiors. The Piccadilly Hotel of 1908 trades on as The Dilly, Wren's St James's Church still keeps its Southwood Garden of 1946, and the Scotch House is also named. Goad's plans were made for fire-risk assessment, and they were updated by pasted slips recording changed occupancy, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction, October 1970, is an alteration note on the police station between Swallow Street and Regent Street, which has since been demolished. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in October 1950, with a 1950 copyright date, and the Volume IX key plan, acquired with the same group, records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Jermyn Street, Glasshouse Street, Brewer Street, Vigo Street, Sackville Street, Sherwood Street and Air Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371690709339,"sku":"P-9-001081","price":280.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001081a_35a30885-b0ae-417b-aefa-c22d2b38c317.jpg?v=1792148974"},{"product_id":"goad-london-217-w1-mayfair-carnaby-regent-streets-savile-row-1948-1970-map-p-9-001085","title":"Goad London 217—W1—Mayfair—Carnaby \u0026 Regent Streets—Savile Row 1948 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 217 [Regent Street, Savile Row, Heddon Street and Carnaby Street]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 217, covers Regent Street, Savile Row and Carnaby Street (W1). Carnaby Street was a shabby rag-trade backstreet until John Stephen's boutiques made it Swinging London's showpiece, and it was pedestrianised in October 1973. The basement club marked at 9 Kingly Street is the Bag O'Nails site, where the Jimi Hendrix Experience played two shows on 11 January 1967. The club was still hosting bands in 1970; a much later revival as a private members' club ran from 2013 to 2018. The Bag O'Nails was also where Paul McCartney met his future wife, the photographer Linda Eastman, in 1967. No. 3 Savile Row, marked “Offices”, was the Beatles’ Apple Corps headquarters and the setting for their final public performance, the rooftop concert of 30 January 1969. Apple Corps plans to open a Beatles visitor attraction there in 2027. Nearby, 23 Heddon Street provided the setting for David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust album cover photograph in 1972. On the sheet, woollen warehouses around Golden Square and John Heathcoat's net and silk premises near Savile Row show the working textile district that then lay behind Regent Street's fashionable shopfronts. Today those streets are known for shopping and dining. The New Gallery Evangelistic Centre, then a church in a former Regent Street cinema, has been Burberry's flagship since 2012. The sheet also names the Church of the Assumption on Warwick Street, Mappin \u0026amp; Webb, and Miss Selfridge, whose shops closed in 2021. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were corrected with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction is October 1970, and a separate pencil working note is dated November 1974. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1948, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with this group records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Kingly Street, New Burlington Street, Heddon Street, Ganton Street, Beak Street, Vigo Street, Glasshouse Street and Brewer Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371691594075,"sku":"P-9-001085","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001085a_bbdb67a3-18f0-491f-818b-1f1c63d49588.jpg?v=1792148974"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/glasshouse-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
