4 Cowley Street, Grade II listed building in Westminster, London, England
4 Cowley Street is an early Neo-Georgian building with Arts and Crafts details typical of its period. The structure features the refined proportions and decorative elements characteristic of Edwardian townhouses in Westminster.
The building was constructed in 1905 by architect Horace Field and initially served as offices for the North Eastern Railway Company. It later transformed into a political center before becoming a private residence.
The building served as headquarters for the Social Democratic Party during the 1980s and later housed the Liberal Democrats. Visitors can still sense the political significance that once defined this address.
The property stands near Westminster Underground Station and several bus routes along Abingdon Street. Visitors can view the exterior and appreciate the historic facade from the quiet street, which is easily accessible on foot from central Westminster locations.
This is one of the few prominent political headquarters from that era that was completely converted into a private residence. The transformation reflects how London's political landscape shifted over a century.
