Around 3,000 of the drug giant’s staff will be based at The Earnshaw building on the corner of New Oxford Street.
Drugs giant GSK is set to move its global headquarters back to central London, ending more than two decades at its Brentford base.
It marks the end of its time at the Brentford site in west London after the £315 million building was officially opened in 2002 by then prime minister Tony Blair. It sees GSK return to central London, where the company traces its roots back to the Plough Court Pharmacy, founded in the City in 1715. Dame Emma said at the time: “We are proud to call London our home and look forward to the opportunities for even closer collaboration with the city’s world-class science, academic and healthcare institutions.”It agreed the sale of its site at 980 Great West Road, Brentford, in 2021 to London-based regeneration specialist Hadley.
