LCC-LFB Brigade HQ, Southwark SE1

Built for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, after the Watling Street headquarters building became too small for the growing fire service, this building in Southwark Bridge Road SE1 remained the Brigade's headquarters until relocation to the new Lambeth site on the Albert Embankment in 1937. The fire station to the left of the square tower was added in 1911. The arched frontage with the spired tower was demolished in the late 1960s by the Greater London Council
