About the building
Eight years after first opening in Rathbone Place in 1810, Heal’s moved into Tottenham Court Road in 1818, where it has proudly remained for 200 years.
THE HEAL'S BUILDING
In 1919, Cecil Brewer - the cousin and best friend of Sir Ambrose Heal - designed a new home for Heal’s. It was a modern build for modern times and saw the installation of the iconic Cecil Brewer staircase. A few years later in 1937, Sir Edward Maufe added an impressive southern extension which included a multi-storey Lenscrete vertical window, inspired by his design for Guildford Cathedral.
CECIL BREWER STAIRCASE
The iconic Cecil Brewer Staircase, known as the most photographed staircase in London, was installed in 1917. It was designed by Cecil Brewer, Ambrose Heal’s cousin and best friend, and it spirals up the three floors of our flagship. A bespoke Bocci chandelier was added in 2013.
THE HEAL'S CAT
The Heal’s cat, which can still be found on the Cecil Brewer staircase in the store, has become something of an icon. In the 1920s, it was just another item for sale. When it was sold for £40, Sir Ambrose wrote to the customer cancelling the sale and placed a card on the cat saying, "Heal's Mascot. Not for Sale".
