179 Great Portland Street was built in 1913 for Smiths Industries. The building was opened to make the first ever Speedometer for the motor car. The well-known architects Stiff & Trevillion are working hard to restore it’s original character to the building. Expect a combination of industrial/contemporary style mixed with vintage/modern furniture and lighting.
The building is within walking distance of Great Portland Street tube as well as a 5 minute walk to Oxford Street for those who like to shop. The building has private office space, large lounge space and meeting rooms.

I am delighted to have worked with Kim and her team in Workthere. Kim was wonderful from the start. She listened, understood our needs and came up with a very suitable list of properties to start with. When we could not find a match after a few visits, Kim kept looking and found a solution that worked for us in terms of price/quality. This is the third time I have used Workthere in the last five years as we grow our business in Ireland, I have found Kim represents the quality and culture of this organisation - responsive, knowledgeable, professional, client-focused.
