The largest of Royal Mail's sorting offices in London, this main building was designed by A R Myers and built 1925-1934. There are, or have been, other buildings on the site that was acquired by the Royal Mail in the 1880s, although part of it has been sold for housing development in recent years. Along the side are names of British towns and cities (Rugby, Bath, Wigan...) and above, in smaller letters, districts of London beginning with Clerkenwell where the sorting office is situated.
