Just ten minutes east, you’re at Westminster Abbey, where centuries of history sit in silence. The contrast is delicious: you can stand in a glassy, 21st-century lobby and know that, outside, kings were crowned. It’s a reminder that London never lets you forget its layers.
SERVICED OFFICE, The Zig Zag Building, 70 Victoria Street, Victoria
Fun fact: the building’s site was once part of the old Victoria Palace Theatre district. You can almost hear phantom applause from the music halls that used to light up this corner of town. Today, the Zig Zag’s tenants might be coding or crunching data, but the creative ghost still lingers.
Practical Tips for Your Visit
If you’re working from the building, know that the third-floor terrace is an undisputed winner. It offers a cheeky view of the London Eye peeking over rooftops. Pack a coffee and claim a bench before 9 AM—it fills fast with the cool crowd.
For visitors: the Wi-Fi is solid, but the natural light is the real draw. Don’t be fooled by the sleek exterior—the building is BREEAM Excellent rated, meaning it’s as green as it is glamorous. Also, the lifts are surprisingly fast; you’ll feel like you’re in a spaceship for a glorious three seconds.
