Prestige Offices, a specialist in premium office space across the capital, has officially relaunched its podcast series, which delves into the rich history of London’s most iconic buildings—many of which now serve as high-end business premises.
First introduced in 2020 and running until 2023, the podcast explored the former lives of some of the capital’s most distinctive properties. Past episodes have featured sites such as elegant Art Deco dance halls and former Michelin tyre depots—now imaginatively converted into stylish office spaces designed for today’s dynamic businesses.
Edward Lewis, Head of Research at Prestige Offices, said:
“We ran the podcast for two years during the pandemic and very much enjoyed sharing what we learned about London’s rich history through researching the celebrated buildings now offering first-class business space, and the districts that they sit within.”
Entitled London’s Best Office Spaces – The Links Between London’s Past and the Modern World, The podcast includes episodes on standout sites such as Victoria House in Holborn, the historic Old Bailey, and the Mayfair residence where Queen Elizabeth II was born. Other stories uncover the banking hall tied to the first cheque drawn in the City in 1834, and the evolving district now dominated by The Shard.
The podcast reflects Prestige Offices’ broader mission to connect modern businesses with London’s cultural legacy, by showcasing the character and stories behind the spaces they occupy.
By blending historical research with contemporary media, including podcasting, the agency seeks to add depth and meaning to the office spaces it promotes, giving tenants a richer sense of place and heritage.
Edward Lewis added:
“The research team took a hiatus from producing the podcast series whilst significantly upgrading the website by adding several new properties in numerous locations across London. The by-product of the enrichment exercise has been the discovery of a new bounty of fascinating facts. The team is excited to share these findings through the podcast relaunch.”
