Editor note
The Nash-era stone façade at 314 Regent Street — part of John Nash's early-nineteenth-century Regent Street plan, rebuilt in the 1920s in Neo-Baroque register. Grade II-listed. The entire 2km Regent Street portfolio is held by The Crown Estate under one conservation framework, and any alteration to a façade in the portfolio passes through Historic England's listed-building consent regime ([listing guidance](https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/hpg/has/listed-buildings/)). For Kith's flagship, the original curved-glazing vestibule — approximately a century old — was preserved, and new fixtures calibrated against it. Nothing on the street-facing elevation was touched. All architectural expression moved inside. This Directory entry is reference-only: the heritage stone in situ at 314 Regent Street is preserved fabric under statutory protection, not commercially specifiable as such. The general thesis — heritage envelope as starting condition that disciplines the interior — is shared with [Portland stone at Ferrari London](/materials/portland-stone-grade-ii); the framework explainer captures it once rather than restated per entry.
