floor entrance from Chancery Lane provides access to a central core serving all floors. The floors are split between
front and rear sections, and are laid out as two self-contained offices suites per floor, separated by a communal area,
with with WCs serving each floor. There is comfort cooling and gas central heating throughout the building, and a lift
serving all floors.
