Arding and Hobbs


Arding and Hobbs is a Grade II listed building at the junction of Lavender Hill and St John's Road, Battersea, London SW11 1QL.

Arding and Hobbs was built in 1910 in an Edwardian Baroque style, and the architect was James Gibson.

Formerly run by Allders (from the late 1970s until the group went into administration and was subsequently broken up and sold) it is now split between a branch of Debenhams department store and TK Maxx retail.

The store has featured in a number of films and television programmes including the 1981 action-thriller, Nighthawks where the shop was bombed and the 1993 Mr. Bean episode, Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean,

In 1993, an episode of Mr Bean, Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean, was filmed at the store, much before Debenhams opened.
