36 KING STREET

Kings House, situated in the heart of the City of London, was constructed in the early part of the 20th Century. The comprehensive refurbishment of this outstanding six-storey building capitalises on its prominent location and provides high-quality offices with retail accommodation at ground floor. The reinterpreted layout provides significantly improved office facilities and creates flexible workspace on each of the triple-aspect upper levels.
