  • Tfl Corporate Archive Top 20 Records
    LT000605/005 - Description of the New Administrative Offices of the Underground Group of Companies By the late 1920s, the Underground Electric Railways Companies of London Ltd was anxious to house all of its ‘head office’ staff in one new purpose-built office block on the site of the old Metropolitan District Railway offices above St James’s Park station. The plans developed by Adams, Holden and Pearson, the architects commissioned by the Group, were radical: • 55 Broadway would be the tallest office building in London; • there would be a cruciform design - in place of the customary hollow rectangle format – which would offer staff more natural daylight in wings projecting from a central core housing lifts, staircases and essential services; and • Contemporary artists would be invited to sculpt decorative features directly onto the stone facade. As detailed in this reprint of a 1929 brochure about the building, 55 Broadway was constructed between 1927 and 1929. 700 reinforced concrete piles sunk to an average depth of 40 feet below basement level support the building. Nineteen load-bearing steel girders span the railway, and special insulation was used to reduce vibration from the trains. Above ground, the building was constructed around a steel girder skeleton and faced with 78,000 cubic feet of high quality Portland stone. The building has a bold appearance, enhanced by progressive stepping back above the sixth, eighth and ninth floors – giving an uneven pyramid effect. The clock tower, 174 feet high, has a similar stepped back effect. Granite for the ground floor came from Norway whilst the Travertine marble used in the interior came from Italy.
