Jubilee Gardens and Shell Centre
Belvedere Road
South Bank
London, September 2015
“The Shell Centre, in London, is one of the two central offices, and serves as the registered address, of oil major Shell (the other, its main headquarters, is in The Hague). It is located on Belvedere Road in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is a prominent feature on the South Bank of the River Thames near County Hall, and now forms the backdrop to the London Eye. The original Shell Centre comprised the tower building and three now demolished adjoining nine storey wings (collectively formerly known as the ‘Upstream Building’). The original development also included a separate building known as the ‘Downstream Building’, which was separated from the Upstream Building by the railway viaduct between Charing Cross and Waterloo East. The Downstream Building was disposed of by Shell in the 1990s, and is now a block of residential apartments known as the White House, and has been heightened by a storey.” (Shell Centre, Wikipedia)
