BUILDING HISTORYSir Edwin Lutyens designed the original building of 1 Finsbury Circus, it has the honour of being listed as a Grade ΙΙ*
building.
1 Finsbury Circus opened in 1925 as Britannic House and served the Anglo-Persian Oil Company up until 1967, which
was then renamed The British Petroleum Company (BP) in 1954.
At the approach of war in 1939, City engineers visited Britannic House to make air raid precaution recommendations,
classifying it as “a veritable fortress”.
Greycoat PLC purchased the building in 1986, one of Britain’s leading commercial developers. Following the
purchase in 1987 Greycoat commenced restoration and reconstruction;
this was completed 2 years later in November 1989.
Britannic House, as it was called then, was now superbly restored and occupied
again by its original owners; it is an inspiring example of the sort of commercial
palace that flowered in England and America in the Edwardian period.
“A remarkable thing has happened in the City of London. A great commercial
building of the 1920’s has been renewed and enhanced in a way that sets very
high architectural standards for the City. It is a moment to celebrate”
– Colin Amery, Financial Times, 11 December 1989.
