Sussex Place, Grade I listed building in City of Westminster, England.
Description
Sussex Place is a Grade I listed building in City of Westminster that now houses London Business School. Its classical design features a columned entrance, evenly spaced windows across multiple stories, and stone facades typical of 19th-century London townhouses.
History
This structure was built in the 19th century as part of London's urban expansion around Regent Street. It received Grade I listed status in 1970 in recognition of its architectural and historical significance to the city.
Culture

The columned entrance and symmetrical facade reflect how such buildings evolved from private homes into public institutions while maintaining their distinctive character.
