55 Broadway
By Seeker
55 Broadway is a historic Grade I listed building located near St James's Park in London, notable for being the tallest office block in the city upon its completion in 1929. Designed by architect Charles Holden, it served as the headquarters for the Underground Electric Railways Company and later for Transport for London until 2020. The building features a striking cruciform design, Art Deco details, and notable sculptures, including 'Day and Night' by Jacob Epstein, which sparked public controversy upon unveiling. In 2020, plans were announced to convert it into a luxury hotel, adding to its rich history and architectural significance.
