1975 - Lever House, 503 Northolt Road

In 1975, when I set up my own business, I'm a commercial property surveyor, I rented an office building at 503 Northolt Road. (I think my landlord may've been a director of Harrow Building Society if I remember correctly. On the front of the building, I put up a wooden sign to call it "Lever House" - I think the building is occupied by solicitors nowadays, but it may still be called Lever House.

It was an unusual building, probably still is!. Of triangular shape, I remember it was often colder on the inside than outside, even with the heating on. In my day, I parked my car on the forecourt but I don't think that's allowed any more. Last time I passed by, I noticed some bollards had been put up.
