No. 1 Croydon
ONE Croydon (or the 50p Building, formerly the NLA Tower, the Weddingcake or Threepenny bit building)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher= London Footprints )〕 is a skyscraper at 12–16 Addiscombe Road, Croydon, London, next to East Croydon station. It was designed by Richard Seifert & Partners and completed in 1970. It has 24 storeys and is high. 'NLA' stood for 'Noble Lowndes Annuities'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher= Graham Johnson )〕 The growing town of Croydon attracted many new buildings to be built in the 1960s including ONE Croydon.〔(State of the art refurbishment )〕 In recent years, the development of tall buildings has been encouraged in the London Plan, which will lead to the erection of new skyscrapers over the next few years as London goes through a high-rise boom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher= Will Fox, SkyscraperCity.com )〕
It is Britain's 88th tallest tower, and an example of original 1960s architecture.
== Restoration project ==
A refurbishment programme costing over £3.5 million was completed in early 2007. It included a six-month exterior cleaning project, new lobby, landscaping and common areas, and refurbishment of the top ten floors to provide of high spec, air-conditioned office accommodation.
A substantial amount of work had already been done to improve the façade of the tower. It was identified in a Channel 4 programme as one of the UK's top eyesores. A spokesman for building restoration firm Triton said: "Work is running to schedule and within budget."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher= Croydon Guardian )〕
