A Sainsbury’s store built on Camden Road was awarded grade II listed status this month by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on the advice of Historic England.
The store was inspired by engineering and construction built in the ‘high tech’ style and designed by Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners.
The heritage body’s Chief Executive Duncan Wilson said:
“The Camden Road Sainsbury’s is an outstanding example of High-Tech architecture in a busy urban setting.”
Heritage Minister Rebecca Pow, who awarded the listing, said the development was a prime example of architects and clients working with local authorities “to create developments which are both functional and appropriate for their surroundings”.
