No that’ll belong to Thameslink. Blackfriars is one of the few London main stations not run and managed by Network Rail. W2.1 still overlooks the station from her NR office in 1 Puddle Dock.
My offices are nice and swanky West End consultants offices now that I rarely attend as I work in client offices.

It had an air of CEO one upmanship, I want an office with a Thames view, resulting in a glass portacabin! Still very cool though When we had our office at 100 Victoria Embankment/Unilever, all the C Suite were vying for the offices with the best view.😂 |

I did a project in Westminster a few years back. One of the team incentives was your team was awarded the office on the corner of Millbank and Lambeth bridge with a balcony. I had an oak panelled office a la Yes Minister so didn’t really give a shit. It even had a secret door into a very private meeting space.

I remember going to a lighting manufacturer in the North West and they took me to their Boardroom. It was like a time capsule from the 60s/70s.It had a 60's style bar area, original shag pile carpet in cream, one of those sunken circular seating areas, 70s furniture etc. I half expected Austin Powers to appear.
Contrast that with the offices of a medtech company on Teesside whose office features a full-size climbing wall, a squash court, go-karts, basketball, highly competitive pool & table tennis leagues, and even a VR zone.

I was recently in an office at one of the new waterfront places in Dundee, it has a nice view across the River Tay with the road bridge framing that on one side.
All very pleasant until the sun came out and the reflection off the water made it unbearable to look out plus heated the room up very quickly.
The blinds were then closed blocking out the nice view and the sun.

This is our head office in the business district of Amsterdam. It's just as cool and funky on the inside as the outside - sadly hardly anyone goes there. If it was within an hour of me I'd go there a few times a week! There are some funny aspects for a Brit - inside the lobby there is a big door marked "parking" - and its a huge bike parking garage! Always with loads of bikes in it, obvs...  |
