Centre Point above Tottenham Court Road Tube Station in central London April 2024 Wikipedia: Centre Point is a building in Central London, comprising a 34-storey tower; a 9-storey block to the east including shops, offices, retail units and maisonettes; and a linking block between the two at first-floor level. It occupies 101–103 New Oxford Street and 5–24 St Giles High Street, WC1, with a frontage also to Charing Cross Road, [1] close to St Giles Circus and almost directly above Tottenham Court Road tube station. The site was once occupied by a gallows, [2] and the tower sits directly over the former route of St Giles High Street, which had to be re-routed for the construction. The building is 117 m (385 ft) high, has 34 floors[3] and 27, 180 m2 (292, 563 sq ft) of floor space. Constructed from 1963 to 1966, it was one of the first skyscrapers in London, and as of 2009 was the city's joint 27th-tallest building.[4] It stood empty from the time of its completion until 1975, [5] and was briefly occupied by housing activists in 1974. Since 1995 it has been a Grade II listed building.[6] In 2015 it was converted from office space to flats. The building was designed by George Marsh of the architects R. Seifert and Partners, with engineers Pell Frischmann, and was constructed by Wimpey Construction from 1963 to 1966
