Designed by Sir Banister F. Fletcher in 1936 and built specifically for Gillette, the razor manufacturer. The design of the building frontage is said to resemble a razor. The factory remained the UK HQ of Gillette's Operation, from before WW2 up until production ceased in 2006. Planning permission has been granted by the London Borough of Hounslow to develop the 1930s Art Deco Grade II listed into a hotel.
