Portsoken House · Property To Rent

Designed in 1928 by George Val Myer, Portsoken House forms part of a stunning art deco portfolio from the renowned architect including Russell Court on Woburn Place, Aldford House in Mayfair (where BMW has its Park Lane showroom) and, most famously, Broadcasting House at Langham Place. The highest office building in the city at the time of its construction, Portsoken House takes its name from the ancient ward of Portsoken, which loosely translates as “land at the gate” and refers to the ward’s location adjacent to the city walls of Norman London. Today, the building has received a complete refurbishment at the hands of Workspace with a comprehensive remodelling that delivers a host of new specifications and amenities behind the beautiful Portland Stone façade. A new contemporary entrance lobby sets the stage with large format porcelain floor tiles, futuristic LED light boxes and a sleek reception desk. The building has a WiredScore of silver and further amenities include a commissionaire, underground bicycle store, shower and locker facilities, two passenger lifts and a dry cleaning and concierge service.
