GPO North
...in Central London. |
 |
GPO North was built as the principal administration headquarters of the Post
Office from 1894, and was sited between King Edward Street and St.
Martin's-Le-Grand, Angel Street and Little Britain. It ceased to be the Post
Office HQ in 1984, and has since been completely rebuilt within its original
external walls. In the 1990s it was known as Nomura House, and is the home of
Nomura International plc, who undertook its restoration.
