Abandoned Offices, Old Oak Lane
Windows broken and graffiti daubed liberally inside and out, these offices have been abandoned since circa 2004. A proposed new development called Nash House is currently going through the planning process and would see a larger building of similar height on the site providing a mix of office, business, retail, community and student accommodation.

North Acton: Nash House
Nash House is a former 1960s office building which has been unoccupied for several years and has fallen into a bad state of disrepair with broken windows, evidence of a fire on the upper floors, and with internal fittings strewn across the former car park. Plans have been submitted to demolish the existing building and replace it with a similar sized mixed use, but primarily student accommodation, building.
The 1893 Ordnance Survey map shows this to have been the site of the Willesden Paper & Canvas Works, while by the time that the 1935 Edition was published the same old paper works building was being described as Willesden Works (Brass Foundry).
