Congress House

Congress House, located in Great Russell Street, London, serves as the headquarters for the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and is a notable events venue. Designed by David du Roi Aberdeen and opened in 1958, the building features a striking bronze sculpture symbolizing trade unionism and a poignant statue by Jacob Epstein memorializing fallen trade unionists. Recognized for its architectural significance, it was listed as Grade II* in 1988. Recent renovations have enhanced its facilities, including a new entrance and public artwork, making it an interesting site for both tourists and researchers interested in labor history and architecture.
