Unilever House, Art Deco office building in City of London, United Kingdom
Unilever House is an Art Deco office building in the City of London, United Kingdom. The curved facade has sixteen unfluted Ionic columns forming a colonnade between the fourth and sixth floors.
Built between 1930 and 1932, the building stands on the site of the former Bridewell Palace. The palace once served as a royal residence and was later converted into a prison.
The name comes from the company that made this its headquarters. The sculptures outside show figures controlling horses, a representation of strength and control from the Art Deco period.
The building stands at 100 Victoria Embankment and is listed as a Grade II protected structure. Access is limited to office space, but the facade and sculptures are easy to view from the street.
A renovation in 2008 brought a central atrium with suspended bridges into the interior. The original parquet flooring from the 1930s was preserved during the work.
