History
10 Trinity Square is a Grade II listed building in London that was opened by David Lloyd George, then the British Prime Minister, in 1922. It is best known as being the former headquarters of the Port of London Authority. It overlooks the River Thames at Tower Hill, in the southeastern corner of the City of London.
The structure was designed by Sir Edwin Cooper and built by John Mowlen & Co in 1922 as the new headquarters of the Port of London Authority. (The PLA is now based on Charterhouse Street in Smithfield.)
In 1946, Trinity Square hosted the inaugural meeting of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
The building was badly damaged by enemy bombing during the Blitz in World War II and when renovated in the 1970s a functional rectangular office block was built to occupy the central part of the building which was destroyed in the War. It was occupied as the European headquarters of insurance broker Willis Faber Limited following the relocation of the PLA to Smithfield. Willis is now based in the Willis Building in nearby Lime Street.
In 2006, 10 Trinity Square was acquired by Thomas Enterprises Inc. It was sold to a partnership of KOP Group and Reignwood in 2010. Reignwood bought out KOP's stake in 2012. It will be developed into a hotel and apartments.
The building featured in the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall.
I was out drinking in Shoreditch on what i think could of been a Thursday, but i had arranged to meet up with a few other people in Camden for a few drinks so over i headed already half cut where i met up The_Raw, Sentinel, SJP, Elliot and a couple of other people that i either can't remember because when i walked in the pub in Camden and out the back to meet them i did so with two double jacks. We decided to hit something nice n easy and we popped into 70 Mark Lane for a few drinks atop the crane. After that we cruised over to 10 Trinity and made our way in and up up up. Its something i had my eye on for a while and even stuck it up in leads and rumours as i didn't think i'd ever get round to doing it, and even now i don't remember alot of the night, apart from climbing over the sculptures and posing like a bit of a twat at 5am. Even popped inside for a little look, its stripped, shame. Twas a laugh though.
