Description
This
Grade II Listed building is home to the
Vice-Chancellor of the University of London and
the recently refurbished university
library. The architect chosen to design it
was Charles Holden, selected apparently because
of the success of his design of 55 Broadway for
the London Electric Railway. When it was
completed in 1937, this Art Deco skyscraper was
second only in height to St. Paul's
Cathedral.
