Congress House, Trade union headquarters in Bloomsbury, London, United Kingdom
Congress House features a granite facade, extensive conference facilities, and multiple office spaces spanning several floors in central London.
The building, completed in 1958 after winning an architectural competition by David du Roi Aberdeen, represented a shift toward modern post-war design principles.
The structure contains two notable sculptures: a memorial piece by Jacob Epstein in the courtyard and Bernard Meadows' bronze work at the entrance.
The building serves as the central location for UK trade union activities, hosting conferences, meetings, and administrative functions for the TUC organization.
A transparent ETFE roof installed in 2015 covers the internal courtyard, protecting the Epstein memorial while maintaining natural illumination throughout the space.
