Entrance to Legal and General House off St Monica's Road which closed in December 2017.

Driveway to Legal and General House off St Monica's Road. Legal and General House was built in 1986-91, designed by architects Arup Associates. The original building on the site, St Monica's House, was previously a girls' boarding school, but was acquired by the insurance company Legal and General in 1937 as an investment, but became their headquarters during the Second World War after their London offices were bombed. Further offices, Kingswood House, were built in 1955, before the full redevelopment in the late 1980s, although the original St Monica's was retained as a training centre/accommodation block. However, the site closed in December 2017, and the future is unknown, one proposal being to redevelop for housing, although a stumbling block is that it is currently on Green Belt land. On 14 December 2017 the main building was listed grade II*, for its "innovative Post-Modernist design" and "as a prestigious example of a 'green-field' corporate campus, combining energy efficiency, flexibility and employee amenities".

1930s(?) housing in St Monica's Road.

The area around Kingswood could be described as wealthy, with houses priced mostly from £1 million upwards. This large public house therefore has to maintain a high quality of service. The former name of this house was 'The Pigeon Pair'.
