United Kingdom Lloyds Register Headquarters, London

Lloyd’s Register is known primarily for its register of shipping which has its origins in Edward Lloyd’s coffee house (the coffee was not high grade but it was affordable to seamen, who congregated, chatted and provided information that was of great interest to those whose fortunes depended upon their ship coming in. The register, originally created by the customers, listed the details and condition of ships, which was of great value to those wanting to ship goods and those who were underwriting the risk of the ship not arriving.

They moved into this, their Headquarters in 1901, took over neighbouring buildings and now the original hides behind a great glass front (image included so you can find it).

I’d include an ultra-wide angle to try and capture the whole of each room – they’re amazing to walk around.

We look to you to discuss the matter with your insurer ASAP and come back with a proposal. If you want photographs to confirm the new gap in cover, please ask.

City of London, parking? Unlikely.
