2 Marsham Street, Government office in City of Westminster, United Kingdom
2 Marsham Street is a seven-story government office in City of Westminster made up of three linked sections. Colored glass installations and transparent spaces allow natural light to flow throughout the interior.
The current structure replaced Marsham Towers, a complex of three 20-floor concrete towers demolished in 2003. This replacement marked a shift in how government buildings were designed and built.
The three connected sections bear the names Seacole, Peel, and Fry, honoring figures connected to the work of the Home Office. These names reflect the values that shape the institution today.
The building sits between St James's Park and Pimlico tube station, making it easy to reach on foot. The main interior street is open to pedestrians and connects to small parks and public spaces.
A central internal street runs through the entire length of the building, featuring shared facilities like a library and café. This pedestrian zone with pocket parks creates an unexpected public space inside a government office.
