The Future is Green
A new world of work.
Commissioned by Woolworths in 1955, the world most iconic retailer at the time, 242 Marylebone immediately became a London Landmark. It also established the architect Richard Seifert as a master.

We are now working with leading architects AHMM to carefully respect the original architecture while injecting a dynamic new design language that will offer the building a new life and identity.

Featuring one of the largest CLT structures in the UK, Metropolis has been deliberately designed to be both revolutionary and responsible, with wellbeing and experience at its core.
