Bechstein returns to London's Wigmore Street

German piano manufacturer C. Bechstein has announced its return to Wigmore Street in London after an absence of more than a century, with the long-leasehold purchase of 18-22 Wigmore Street.

The company opened its first Bechstein Hall at 36 Wigmore Street in 1901. Due to Bechstein being German-owned, the First World War brought about the seizure of the venue as enemy property in 1916. It reopened as Wigmore Hall the following year.

The new C. Bechstein building will be located at 22 Wigmore Street, comprising a flagship showroom on two levels, 13 practice rooms and a selection room for concert hire pianos in the basement and 8 flats on the upper floors for private rental. The crown jewel of this project is a 100-seat concert venue, to be named Bechstein Hall. Work is already underway on the new building, which is expected to open in spring 2023 and represent an investment of some £30m. Lambourn Commercial acted for C. Bechstein in the purchase of 18-22 Wigmore St. from clients of Wiltshire Daniels.
