THE illustration is of the new‐headquarters of the Wakefield Castrol Oil Group, which was occupied in the middle of November. The removal operation took place over the weekend from the previous offices in Grosvenor Street to this new building in Marylebone W.1. The new building covers a site of nearly an acre and is of an unusual and imposing design.

At night, this tower is floodlit internally through opaque green glass panels.
