Allies and Morrison LLP is an architecture and urban planning practice based in London and Cambridge. Founded in 1984, the practice is now one of Britain's largest architectural firms.[1] The practice's work ranges from architecture and interior design to conservation and renovation of historic buildings to urbanism, planning, consultation and research.
