The Blueprint
Midtown has redefined Central London. Holborn is its exciting core.
Caroline House is newly refurbished to reflect its place
amidst the energy of Midtown. Offering 7 floors and
13,790 sq ft of design-led office space, strategically
placed to take advantage of everything Midtown has
to offer.
Resonating with today’s style-conscious occupiers, the
high-quality refurbishment is a reflection of a constantly
evolving community.
A building with a clear, creative identity, prepared for a
company headquarters; and for their dynamic talent, for
whom local retail and leisure is an essential part of the
package. Amongst many others, it’s the neighbourhood
that Amazon, Skype and Saatchi & Saatchi call home.
First-rate connections continue to define Midtown’s
excellent transport axis. In 2018, Crossrail will open up
the capital east to west. The Thameslink expansion will
increase capacity north to south and will further improve
the area.

TIMELESSDESIGN—PERFECTLOCATION
Contemporary office space in vibrant Midtown.
From the entrance, every detail is thoughtfully
conceived. Stripped back external signage nods to
1960’s heritage. Inside, a considered reception area
comes perfectly curated with polished screed floors,
chrome lights and leather bench seating.
A sculptured reception desk reflects the building’s
design ethos, behind it sits a feature wall crafted in
architectural concrete to offer stunning contrast.

CAFÉCULTURE
From grain to grind. 5 minutes’ walk from Holborn Grind and Fleet River
Bakery, the café culture here is as understated as
you might expect from a community of tastemakers.
Laptops on tables, fresh brews, long queues and
blackboards on pavements; Midtown offers great
coffee in ever more sophisticated spaces.

Dark Room
A fashion mecca for Midtown.
Discerning shoppers eschew the high street for the
atmosphere of Holborn’s boutiques and independent
shops. Carnaby Street and Covent Garden are
10 minutes away, the gentlemen’s outfitters of
Chancery Lane even less.
However, those seeking a particular kind of sartorial
energy go to Lamb’s Conduit Street. Offering an
array of concept stores, boutiques and cleverly
curated global brands, minutes from Caroline House.
