French Railway House, SW1Y
Carlton House Terrace
French Railway House occupies 178-180 Piccadilly.

This 1962 mixed-use building, clad in Portland stone, was home to the French Railway Company SNCF.

Originally it sported a sign that projected out above the pavement on Piccadilly spelling out the word FRANCE. This sign, since removed, was apparently the creation of Erno Goldfinger.
