History

East India Dock House was built in 1988 by Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners (now Grimshaw Architects) as a printing house for the Financial Times.[2] The building is made out of cladding, steel and glass, and is situated on East India Dock Road.[3][4] During the early 1990s, it won multiple architectural awards.[4] The Financial Times moved out in 1995,[2] and the building was later used as a data centre.[4] It became a Grade II* listed building in 2016.[4]
