2 Marsham Street

2 Marsham Street is a modern office building located in the City of Westminster, London, serving as the headquarters for the Home Office and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government since 2005. The site previously housed the controversial Marsham Towers, known for their unappealing design, which were demolished to make way for the new structure. Designed by architect Terry Farrell, the building features a community-oriented layout with open-plan offices, central atria, and landscaped 'pocket parks'. It has received positive acclaim for its architectural design and energy efficiency, winning several awards. The building not only accommodates government offices but also includes residential flats, shops, and restaurants, making it a vibrant part of the local area.
