EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elegance and grandeur of the boardroom at Unity House in Greater London. The interior is a testament to timeless design, featuring a large round conference table that exudes authority and sophistication. The focal point of the room is undoubtedly the original leaded glass domed skylight, which bathes the space in natural light, creating an atmosphere of inspiration and creativity. Unity House holds great historical significance as it was once home to the National Union of Railwaymen since 1910. In its place now stands a new £4.5 million headquarters for the union, built by Laings London Region. While modern in its construction, elements from the old building were incorporated into this contemporary masterpiece, including the exquisite leaded cupola skylight and wall panelling seen here. The six-storey building was thoughtfully designed around a courtyard and strategically located between notable landmarks such as Wellcome Foundation Building and Babcock Building on Euston Road. This prime location further enhances its prominence within Camden's bustling commercial district. This remarkable image offers us a glimpse into an era when important decisions were made within these walls - where leaders gathered to shape policies that impacted countless lives. It serves as a reminder of our rich history while showcasing architectural beauty that has stood the test of time.
