I made a drawing of Edwin Lutyens’ building at 85 Fleet Street for a commission.
Built in 1935, it was the London headquarters for Reuters until 2005 but now it looks as though it’s a restaurant (on the ground floor at least). It sure looks like a Lutyens building: austere (with flourishes), classical, monumental and built to last. It has fine art deco touches too, especially the entrance on Fleet Street.
But compared to the giants he created in India and elsewhere, this building is quite neat and tidy. Like the Cenotaph here in London.
