Electra House, Grade II listed building in Moorgate, City of London, England.

Electra House stands at 84 Moorgate with a classic architectural design featuring secondary glazing, modern lifts, and renovated rooftop enclosures.

The Eastern Telegraph Company opened this building in 1902, which later became the London base for Cable & Wireless Limited during World War II.

The structure houses a ground floor museum displaying telecommunications history and the building's role in London's communications development.

Following a £50 million renovation in 2024, the Fashion Retail Academy occupies the building with specialized classrooms, design spaces, and a fashion library.

Department EH operated from this location, monitoring foreign embassy communications before merging into the Special Operations Executive.
