Commercial fit-out in Fitzrovia
Fitzrovia is City of Westminster + London Borough of Camden's georgian terraces + 1930s bbc / media-district infill + post-war mansion blocks submarket. Fitzrovia is bisected by Tottenham Court Road — the western half sits in Westminster, the eastern half in Camden, and the two councils apply different basement policies, different LBC thresholds, and different Section 106 tariffs to otherwise-identical terraces 15m apart.
What a commercial fit-out project looks like here
Fitzrovia is bisected by Tottenham Court Road — the western half sits in Westminster, the eastern half in Camden, and the two councils apply different basement policies, different LBC thresholds, and different Section 106 tariffs to otherwise-identical terraces 15m apart.
The BBC's Broadcasting House on Portland Place is a Grade II* listed setting, so roof-level works within 100m of the building attract a mandatory setting-of-listed-building consultation that typically adds 4-6 weeks to a standard planning timeline.
Because Fitzrovia housed Soho's post-war bohemian overflow (Dylan Thomas, Augustus John, Nina Hamnett all lived here), many upper-floor flats are smaller and more irregularly subdivided than their Georgian exteriors suggest — scope on almost any kitchen remodel here surfaces non-standard stud walls and unexpected flue routing.
Cat-A / Cat-B fit-out, retail and hospitality — Building Regs Approved Inspector route, Equality Act 2010 access compliance, fire-engineering BS 9999. In Fitzrovia specifically, georgian terraces + 1930s bbc / media-district infill + post-war mansion blocks stock means commercial fit-out scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's London scoping flow factors fitzrovia conservation area (westminster + camden halves) and broadcasting house setting considerations into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
Fitzrovia commercial fit-out projects typically run $145K–$2.3M. Fitzrovia's georgian terraces + 1930s bbc / media-district infill + post-war mansion blocks stock, combined with fitzrovia conservation area (westminster + camden halves), puts most mid-complexity projects in the $1.2M range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
