Built in 1869, No. 70-71 Wells Street originally started life as a school for the local church, before turning into a haberdashery (1925), a photography studio (1970), and now an office building (2018). The three-storey, Tudor-style architecture is a fantastic display of mid-Victorian craftsmanship. The building has benefitted from a recent refurbishment, which gives the airy internal atrium a touch of sophistication, whilst retaining enough original features to give occupants a tasteful reminder of its past. Previous recent occupants have included a PR firm, creative agency, film production company, recycling company and an embroidery school.
The building is located on Wells Street, which starts midway between Oxford Circus (7 mins) and Tottenham Court Road (6 mins) tube stations. As such there are fantastic transport links via all main lines, as well as an enormous selection of cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops with both Soho and Mayfair a short walk away. The recently opened Elizabeth Line offers excellent transport links to both west and east London respectively, enabling easy access for commuters coming from further afield.
