102 Petty France, Government building in Westminster, London, England
The 14-story structure at 102 Petty France stands 56 meters tall and provides 51,000 square meters of office space in central London.
The building, completed in 1976 by architect Basil Spence, replaced Queen Anne's Mansions and served as the Home Office headquarters from 1978 to 2004.
This concrete building represents the architectural movement of brutalism, which characterized many British government structures during the 1970s construction period.
The structure currently houses several government departments, including the Ministry of Justice, Crown Prosecution Service, and His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service.
Prior to its 2005 renovation and renaming to 102 Petty France, staff informally referred to the building as 'the Lubyanka.'
