The Safe Deposite is a free standing pavilion designed by Studio Weave. It is conceived as a location for public performances, events and exhibitions and nods to a cabinet of curiosities that evokes the design language of Victorian safe deposit boxes, of which historically there were two nearby. The architectural folly was intended to be a temporary intervention, but has remained a permanent local fixture, adding to London lore.

The ornate interior ceiling is covered in a wheatsheaf design that alludes to the sacks of wheat historically used as currency and link with the barter and exchange of the old St James’s Market and the floor is laid in pale red, green and brown terrazzo.

Glass and copper vitrines cover the walls, fitted with small heaters to prevent condensation, are designed to provide a gallery without walls for the curation of the creativity and craft of neighbouring artisan businesses.
