55 Broadway, Art Deco office building in Westminster, England
The building rises 53 meters above St James's Park station with a cruciform design allowing natural light to reach all office spaces through large windows.
Charles Holden designed this structure between 1927 and 1929 as headquarters for the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, predecessor of London Underground.
The exterior features carved stone sculptures of the Four Winds by renowned artists, including works by Jacob Epstein that generated public debates upon installation.
Located directly above St James's Park station, the building contains a ground floor shopping arcade with multiple entrances from Broadway and Petty France.
This Grade I listed building used 700 concrete piles and steel girders to span active railway lines, making it stable despite constant underground train movements.
