We had an excellent time hosting the fantastic Castellum team for an inspiring afternoon tour in central London!

Our first stop was The London Centre, home of the NLA, where Emily Gabb, Head of Strategic Partnerships, delivered an insightful talk to the group. This was followed by a quick al fresco lunch under the sun in Guildhall Yard.

Next, we headed to Hines' European Headquarters at Grainhouse in Covent Garden, where the group experienced an impressive blend of modern office design within an iconic historic neighbourhood of London.

Staying in Covent Garden, we wrapped up the tour with a visit to Patrizia's headquarters – their largest global office outside of Germany. A big thank you to James Somers Eve for welcoming us into this beautiful space.

The day left the group feeling energised and inspired, with plenty of fresh ideas. They witnessed a mix of old meeting new, highlighted by bold, dynamic, and forward-thinking design. The integration of greenery and cultural expression throughout the architecture particularly resonated with them, which is always great to hear.
