Greater London House
Greater London House, 4&5th Floor
We successfully delivered a comprehensive 11-month refurbishment, transforming a multi-floor commercial space into a modern, high-spec environment. Acting as Principal Contractor, we managed every stage of the project, from initial strip-out to the final handover, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.
The works began with a complete strip-out of the 4th and 5th floors, preparing the space for a full CAT A refurbishment. This included high-quality finishes, upgraded flooring, ceilings, and the installation of state-of-the-art mechanical and electrical (M&E) systems to enhance the building’s efficiency and performance. We also installed brand-new WC and welfare facilities, improving the functionality and comfort of the space for future occupants.
A key feature of the refurbishment was the enhancement of outdoor terraces, creating inviting breakout areas that add value to the workspace. With meticulous attention to detail and precise project management, Signature London successfully delivered a contemporary, high-quality commercial space, ready for tenant occupation.

A bit of history
The "House of Carreras" started its tobacco business in London in the 19th Century. It was a small business at that time selling various tobacco products like cigars, cigarettes and snuff, out of shops, first near Leicester Square and later Regent's Street. Apparently, it was common for a local cat to curl-up and sleep in the window of the shop near Leicester Square and it was known informally as "The Black Cat Shop". The concept stuck and the black cat was later adopted as a brand symbol.
With the advent of the cigarette making machine, the business required a factory and in 1907 production moved to the Acadia Works on City Road in East London. However, further expansion led to the construction of this building on Hampstead Road in Camden Town.
As you can see, the black cat theme was prominent on the building including a row of cat faces complete with wire whiskers.
