Shell Centre, Corporate skyscraper at Belvedere Road, London Borough of Lambeth, England.
The Shell Centre reaches 107 meters in height with 26 floors, featuring Portland Stone cladding and bronze-framed windows throughout its structure.
The Shell Centre opened in 1962 on land previously used for the 1951 Festival of Britain, marking a transformation in London's architectural development.
The building participates in London's New Year celebrations by displaying countdown projections during the annual Mayor's fireworks display since 2004.
The redeveloped complex incorporates office spaces, retail units, and public areas, connecting directly to Waterloo Station and South Bank attractions.
During construction, workers discovered remnants of the abandoned Waterloo and Whitehall Railway project from 1865, which never reached completion.
