Lloyd House, Police headquarters in Birmingham, England
Lloyd House is a large administrative building with 13 floors arranged in an L-shaped layout, dominating a section of the city center. The structure houses the West Midlands Police headquarters and contains multiple offices and operational spaces across its floors.
The building was constructed between 1960 and 1964 originally for a steel manufacturing company and later took on a very different role. In 1974 it became the administrative headquarters for the West Midlands Police.
In June 2020, Lloyd House became a focal point for public gatherings related to social justice movements, reflecting its role in community relations.
The building is not open to the public since it functions as an active police headquarters for official operations only. Visitors can view the architecture from the street and appreciate the distinctive shape from different vantage points around the area.
When the building underwent renovation from 2014 to 2016, materials and workers were sourced from the immediate area to support the local economy. This approach to modernization demonstrated a commitment to strengthening the Birmingham community.
