Formerly the headquarters of Abbey, this 7
storey office block is now home to
Santander. According to the
architect, "Central
to the building concept is the
creation of an internal, north facing,
glazed street, running the length of
the building. Daylight enters the
street through glazed atrium walls at
a stainless steel tie-rod structure.
The south and east elevation consist
of a panelized double skin, climate
wall with fritted glass, or perforated
aluminium louvres in front of it. " The building occupies the site of the demolished Thames Television building. |

2 -3 Triton Square - Euston Road, London      As you can see above there is a
piece of public art outside the building in Triton
Square. It is composed of a stone block
featuring a sculpture. The block stands on a
series of metal legs and has a collection of trees
planted on top. This may be a new creation but
the sculpture actually dates back to the 19th
century. It was commissioned by George IV and
depicts Nelson's triumph Cape St Vincent in
1797. Created by the artist Edward Hodges
Baily, it was intended as a decoration on the Marble
Arch but it was never used and apparently went
missing for a long time.
