Francis House
Located in the heart of Victoria, Francis House is part of a larger campus of late Victorian properties owned by Derwent London. Squire & Partners has been working with the developer since 1998 to reimagine the cluster – which totals 287,000 sq ft and includes Greencoat House, Greencoat Place and Gordon House.
