Blythe House, Grade II listed building in West Kensington, London, United Kingdom
The enormous Edwardian Baroque structure features pinkish-red brick walls with Portland stone dressing and contains two extensive wings connected by cross-ranges.
Built between 1899 and 1903, the building served as the Post Office Savings Bank headquarters, managing over 9 million accounts through 12,000 branches by 1902.
The building currently functions as a storage facility for collections from the Victoria and Albert Museum, Science Museum, and British Museum.
Located at 23 Blythe Road, the building maintains its original architectural features under Grade II protection, requiring special permissions for any modifications.
