                               Alder King, the
                                property consultants, published an
                                online document called AKfocus in the
                                summer of 2013.  In that document
                                they announced that, "Bristol
                                    City Council has purchased the
                                    landmark office building at 100
                                    Temple Street near Temple Meads in
                                    Bristol from Aviva Investors
                                    Property Trust. The purchase is a
                                    key element of the Council’s plan to
                                    consolidate its occupation across
                                    the city and could save local
                                    taxpayers around £40 million over
                                    the next 25 years. .... The
                                    five-storey property provides
                                    130,000 sq ft of accommodation." 
                                 
                              ![]() The building was once
                                known as the London Life Building and,
                                as you can see, it has also been home to
                                KPMG.  The Bristol Pevsner Guide
                                says that, "Its staggered masses
                                    achieve a pleasing three-dimensional
                                    quality.  Five well-composed
                                    red brick storeys, screened by slim
                                    paired supports of contrasting
                                    aggregate."
