The Gilbert & One Lackington have been developed as extensive shared work and social spaces, which celebrate the eccentricities of the original buildings. Although focused on the working lifestyles of the present day, the building has a story to tell. Designed as a private members club by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1930, he also designed national landmarks the Tate Modern, Battersea Power Station and the iconic red telephone box. The Gilbert & One Lackington occupy a prominent position on Finsbury Square and are close to both Moorgate and Liverpool Street Stations, both of which benefit from the delivery of the Elizabeth line. A major refurbishment of the property was completed in 2021.
