The massive post-modern building opposite, above Charing Cross Station, is 1 Embankment Place, occupied by PWC.
2026: Bridgemont is developing ideas for the future of this building. "We’re at the start of a conversation about how 1 Embankment Place and the surrounding area could be sensitively transformed into a more welcoming, sustainable and vibrant destination – one that better connects to the West End, supports local businesses, and celebrates its unique location." OK so far, but then: "We aim to thoughtfully curate offerings that complement the wider ambitions for improvements to the public realm and contribute to establishing this area as a destination as well as a gateway to the West End and an attractive and thriving workspace. This includes improving legibility, visibility, and clarity." Mmm.
