The Office Group Great Portland Street

About the venue

We’re on site with this building which was originally constructed in 1913 for Smiths Industries.

They made the first ever Speedometers for the motor car so we have some industrial heritage with the building, albeit much of it has been destroyed over the years. Still, we’re working hard with architects Stiff & Trevillion to pull some of that character back. We’re also moving our head office into part of the space so the design may have a little bit of everything we like from our other buildings. Expect a combination of industrial/contemporary style mixed with vintage/modern furniture and lighting. The overall feel will be light and young with a hint of this building’s history. At the top end of Great Portland Street, the building is very close to our Henry Wood House, so all of those facilities are available, but 179 GPS will have plenty of it’s own, with lounges and drop-in working, bike storage and showers. We’re right by Regent’s Park if you fancy joining our running or cycling clubs. And loads of restaurants right by the front door to carb up once done, from Villandry to Portland to Demartino, the most understated but fantastic Italian. A great meeting needs a great meeting room. The rooms are tailored to specific types of meeting both in design and technology and are available by the hour or the day. There are 5 meeting rooms in different sizes and different areas to step out and have a break
