	The revamped Peter Jones department store in west London \| Arts critics \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Peter Jones is not just for Christmas, or even the summer sales; it's for life.
		The famous Chelsea department store, owned by the John Lewis Partnership, is the shop to which many smart Londoners come, as if by instinct, to dress baby, buy school uniforms, make wedding lists, furnish homes and indulge in frivolous gewgaws.
		The criss-crossed escalators in the dramatic atrium at the heart of the new-look Peter Jones are clearly modelled on those in the Blade Runner-like atrium at Lloyd's.

	Department store Summary
		Department stores are usually part of a retail chain of many stores situated around a country or several countries.
		Some department stores leased space to individual merchants, similar to the changes in late 17th-century London, but by 1900 the smaller merchants were purchased or eventually replaced by the larger companies.
		Department stores first appeared in China at the beginning of the 20th Century, the concept said to be introduced by expatriate Chinese living in Australia.

	Tradition and innovation John McAslan + Partners.(profile of architect and his firm) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Asked to modernize, rationalize and enlarge the store, 'filling in the external voids and extending it upward', as McAslan puts it, JMP has characteristically concentrated on giving it a new lease of life, one that is in keeping with the spirit of the '30s exterior and that will last for the next 100 years.
		Within Peter Jones, the practice is carving out a top-lit atrium that will bring airiness and light into the centre of the store.
		The clarity of Cubitt's plan, whereby arriving and departing passengers were channelled through buildings along the flanks of the two train sheds, was long ago abandoned in favour of a succession of ill-considered concourses built on to the front of the facade.

	Peter Jones Department Store London (Belgravia) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Peter Jones has done such an amazing makeover it has near enough everything and I would list it as one of the best stores in Britain.
		The new Peter Jones is bright and fresh and still holds a huge range of merchandise.
		It is great that the store received proper investment and not closed down as was the fate of the Partnership's stores in the suburbs.

	News - Bovis Lend Lease Puts New Heart into Peter Jones
		One of the first tasks was the installation of a three-level weatherproof walkway connecting the two ends of the department store and stretching the length of its King’s Road frontage.
		Now, with the department store’s Centre Room opening for business four months early, expectations are high for the next phase, the west end of the department store overlooking Cadogan Gardens.
		One of the first priorities for Peter and his team is the careful removal of the walkway and then a rapid appraisal of the challenges ahead.

	Dirac Angestun Gesept: Escalator to Heaven
		The Guardian has an article on the completion of renovations to London's Peter Jones department store in Chelsea.
		The old store was one of these mish-mash buildings ("an amalgam of five buildings constructed between 1895 and 1965") with lots of internal logistical and layout problems.
		However, the "easy" solution of just closing and doing major renovations was ruled out in order to avoid losing staff and customers to rival stores...so they had to do it all while staying open.

		All this should be transformed by the summer of 2004, thanks to £4.1 million promised by the Arts Council Lottery Fund and a further £1.9 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
		This will allow the architect John McAslan, who is also carrying out a thoroughgoing restoration of that other Thirties Modernist icon, the Peter Jones department store in Chelsea, to continue and complete the restoration he began back in 1992.
		His involvement has already paid dividends — most obviously in the conference room, which had been carved up and given a false ceiling, but which, with its clerestory lighting restored, has been revealed as a room or real beauty.
