  • 80 Fenchurch Street is Royal London’s new base in the heart of The City of London
  • The building has been designed to high environmental standards with an EPC ‘A’ rating

Royal London, the UK’s largest life, pensions and investment mutual, hosted The Rt Hon the Lord Mayor of the City of London Nicholas Lyons at the official opening of its new London Office at 80 Fenchurch Street on 4 July 2023.

Royal London’s new base in London marks an important moment for the purpose-driven modern mutual as it completes on its strategic decision to seek new premises that embody its brand identity and support its aims to reduce its environmental impact.

The base build of 80 Fenchurch Street was constructed to an EPC ‘A’ rating and achieved an excellent rating from BREEAM1 for its sustainability and green credentials.

The relocation of Royal London’s office in The City has also been centred around the needs of colleagues. By providing colleagues with an office space that optimised hybrid working practices to maximise productivity and embrace flexibility, the aim of the new office is to enhance employee health and wellbeing whilst also encouraging collaboration and innovation.

There is a bright and contemporary feel throughout, excellent facilities and there is inclusive design supporting disability in the workplace, including adapted tea points, wide remote controlled speed gates and lifts.

To support colleague wellbeing the site has a contemplation room with Wudu facilities and a first aid / parenting room. Each floor has plenty of natural light, soft furnishings, internal planting, and there is also access to an outside terrace space with panoramic views of the city.
