Founded as T.P. Bennett and Son in 1921 by Sir Thomas Bennett, the practice quickly became known for the innovative design of theatres, residential and commercial buildings, with early work predominantly in London. The practice later came to the forefront of the New Town Movement, and following a succession of major projects throughout the 1960s and 1970s, developed into one of the largest and most successful architectural practices in the UK.

The practice was based in Holborn until 1998 when it moved to purpose designed offices within a converted Edwardian warehouse at One America Street on Southwark Bridge Road.

In recent years, the practice has continued to expand and develop the expertise it offers to its clients. As a result, two specialist divisions were established in the late 1990’s, Bennett Interior Design (bid) and Bennett Urban Planning (bup).

In 2004, T.P. Bennett acquired SEF Architects (formerly Stillman & Eastwick-Field), a practice with wide experience in the health, education and social housing sectors. The team relocated from their North London office to One America Street to create a fourth division, Bennett Health + Education.

The fifth division, Bennett Strategy, was established in 2007 to provide strategic analysis and consultancy service.

The practice converted to a Limited Liability Partnership on 1st December 2005
