EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the reception area of Unity House, located on Euston Road in Camden, Greater London. The focal point of this space is a magnificent stained glass mural that proudly displays the history and motto of the National Union of Railwaymen. This artwork serves as a reminder of the union's rich heritage and its commitment to representing railway workers. The construction of Unity House's new £4.5 million headquarters was entrusted to Laings London Region, who successfully completed this project. Situated on the site where the original Unity House once stood since 1910, elements from the old building were seamlessly integrated into its modern counterpart. Notably, features such as the boardroom's leaded cupola skylight and panelling were preserved. Designed around a central courtyard, this six-storey building occupies a prime location between the Wellcome Foundation Building and Babcock Building in an area bordered by Euston Road and Gower Place. Its strategic positioning ensures easy accessibility for members and visitors alike. This photograph captures not only an office interior from the 1980s but also highlights artistry through its stunning stained glass installation.
