Financial Times, Office building in City of London, United Kingdom.
The building features pink sandstone walls with bronze windows, contrasting copper roof, and a modern glass central section between two traditional wings.
Built in 1955 by Albert Richardson as Financial Times headquarters, Bracken House became the first post-war building to receive Listed Building status in 1987.
The astronomical clock above Cannon Street entrance displays Winston Churchill's face at the center of a gold sunburst, reflecting British press heritage.
The structure contains three basement levels with dealing rooms and parking facilities, plus office spaces with raised floors for technical infrastructure.
The building combines neoclassical Italian palazzo design with modern structural elements, including a load-bearing gunmetal and glass facade in four-story bays.
