Empress State Building, Office skyscraper in West Brompton, London
The Empress State Building rises 100 meters high with 31 floors of concrete construction in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
Originally designed as a hotel in 1959, the structure opened in 1961 and served the Admiralty and GCHQ before becoming the Metropolitan Police headquarters.
The building received its name from the former Empress Hall on the site, paying recognition to the Empire State Building in New York.
The structure contains 451,000 square feet of office space and connects directly to West Brompton Station for public transportation access.
A renovation in 2003 added three floors and included a revolving bar called Orbit that provided 360-degree views across London.
