No. 1 Croydon, High-rise building in Croydon, England
No.1 Croydon rises 82 meters into the sky with its distinctive octagonal floors forming a vertical stack near East Croydon station.
Architect Richard Seifert designed this 24-story building in 1970 as part of the expansion project transforming Croydon into a major office district.
The building earned the nickname '50p Building' due to its architecture resembling a stack of British fifty pence coins, replacing its earlier threepenny comparison.
A comprehensive renovation in 2007 modernized the structure with air conditioning and created 74,543 square feet of office space across its upper floors.
The building appeared in the opening credits of Terry and June television series and served as Tuckersoft offices in Black Mirror's Bandersnatch film.
