50 Liverpool Street

50 Liverpool Street is a bit of a fighter. After being the target of London’s first attack during the First World War it also survived British Rail’s plans to demolish the station in favour of a modern development.

50 Liverpool Street is a bit of a fighter. After being the target of London’s first attack during the First World War it also survived British Rail’s plans to demolish the station in favour of a modern development. The now famous 1979 conservation campaign was led by Sir John Bejtemen and Sir Spike Milligan, and the building subsequently becoming the muse for some pretty decent poetry.

Design wise, think copper, steel mesh, stained timber and panelling – a good mix of classic and contemporary. Arched windows look into Liverpool Street Station itself and yes it’s very easy to locate as it’s the one beside McDonald’s. There are offices, a drop-in lounge, meeting rooms, event space and a prime virtual address.
