160 Tooley Street is a municipal facility in Tooley Street, Southwark, London. It is the headquarters and meeting place of Southwark London Borough Council.History
The proposed development combined the refurbishment of some Victorian warehouses with the construction of a modern six-storey office block behind the warehouses. The building was forward sold to UBS Global Asset Management by the developer, Great Portland Estates, before works started in June 2006. It was designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, built by Laing O'Rourke at a cost of £42 million and completed in June 2008. Southwark London Borough Council, which had previously been based at Camberwell Town Hall, moved into the building in March 2009.
The council acquired ownership of the building from UBS in December 2012. Some 2,000 council staff are located in the building and it continues to be the headquarters and meeting place of Southwark London Borough Council.
