The Exchange Building
The Exchange Building is a residential building in London named after the original purpose of the building, which was a Telephone Exchange for British Telecom. It is located on the A1202 Inner London Arterial Ring Road at 132 Commercial Street in Tower Hamlets.
The Exchange Building stands opposite the Peabody building and is tall, with 8 storeys. The building features the original metal and glass window design, which was intended to resemble the original Telephone Exchange style, with residential flats on each floor. Due to the historically high crime rate in this area of East London, the Exchange Building is secured by 24-hour guards.
==History==
The Exchange Building was constructed at No. 132 Commercial Street between 1900 and 1910 under the management of Great London's public building company. Originally a telephone exchange, the building was converted in 2000 into residential dwellings.
The building was the first in a wave of converted residential buildings in East London, as the Tower Hamlets area was gentrified at the turn of the 21st Century.
