Plus, the 12,329 sq ft of terraces are a boost for biodiversity.

The 165 cycle parking spaces, showering and changing facilities encourage cycling into work, or it’s a seamless journey from High Street Kensington Underground Station that sits adjacent to the building. Inside, the high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and plentiful natural light mean that, whatever floor you’re on, you’ll have the best seat in the house. On the top three floors, large terraces offer the space to breathe, connect with colleagues and enjoy the incredible views across London.

Everyone who works at The Kensington Building can use the dedicated app to get contactless access wherever they need to be. It kicks in as soon as you enter the building, and controls security gates, lifts and opens doors as you move around inside. No more rummaging around for card passes or lanyards. It can even control the A/C and heating in specific areas. Visitors, meanwhile, can be granted contactless access using a QR code.
