NOTES: Christie's building of 1893-1894 designed by J Macvicar Anderson was largely destroyed by an incendiary bomb during the Second World War. Atkinson's designs for the interior were carried out (completed in 1953), but Macvicar Anderson's facade survived the bombing and was retained.

NOTES: The original scheme was for a major refurbishment of Sotheby & Co's premises at 33-36 New Bond Street and 3-7 St George Street in 1972, which was abandoned in 1976, owing to planning restrictions on the development of listed buildings and the difficulties of Sotheby's finding alternative accommodation during rebuilding. In 1979 Sotheby's acquired the Aeolian Hall at 135-137 New Bond Street and 40-42 Bourdon Street. Denys Lasdun & Partners, later (from 1977) Denys Lasdun Redhouse & Softley, were retained for the second scheme, a refurbishment of the Aeolian Hall, which was completed in 1981.
