55 Broadway is a notable building overlooking St. James's Park in London. It was designed by Charles Holden and built between 1927 and 1929, and in 1931 the building earned him the RIBA London Architecture Medal. It was built as a new headquarters building for the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL), the main forerunner of London Underground.
