Location

In June 2020, plans were announced to consolidate offices in South East England into Kingston-upon-Thames by early 2025. However, in August 2024, we proposed retaining our London headquarters at 100 Victoria Embankment until 2027. We are consulting with staff on the final location, which may be either 100VE or Kingston-upon-Thames. Until the consultation concludes, your role's location is set at 100VE.
