BT Centre, Corporate headquarters at Newgate Street, London, England

The ten-story office building features Portland stone and granite facades, positioned directly across from St Paul's Underground station in central London.

The site previously housed the Central Telegraph Office from 1874, which sustained damage during World War I and World War II before its demolition in 1967.

The building's location marks where Guglielmo Marconi conducted the first public transmission of wireless signals in 1897, commemorated by a plaque.

The structure underwent extensive renovations between 1997 and 1999 to optimize space usage and implement advanced telecommunications technology.

HSBC will occupy the building in 2025 following a transformation that maintains the structural frame while adding office spaces and a rooftop garden.
