Some of the finest offices in London have been recognised for excellence in the British Council for Offices' annual London and South East Awards. Over 500 property professionals gathered at the Marriott Grosvenor Square last week, to hear who had won Awards in this year's London and South East competition.

Winning the category for best Refurbished/Recycled Workplace was Derwent London’s Angel Building.

The Angel Building scooped the prestigious award for its innovative and distinctive transformation of a tired, lumbering early 1980s building into a quality office scheme that maximises light and space. The building incorporates an impressive roof terrace and lush street level greenery.

Launched in October last year, The Angel Building was designed by AHMM architects and is Derwent London’s largest redevelopment to date, totalling 263,000 sq ft of office space in Clerkenwell, EC1.

As reported only last week in Office Space News, Derwent London is close to achieving full occupancy at the newly completed scheme with online travel experts Expedia about to sign up for 80,000 sq ft and building management firm NG Bailey set to take 17,000 sq ft on the third floor.

Other BCO awards went to offices in Canary Wharf, Midtown, Westminster and the City of London.
