Hoover Factory
Western Avenue, Greenford, UB6 8BW

Architects: Wallis Gilbert & Partners, 1931-38

This London landmark was the office and factory for the Hoover company from 1933. The glazed facade gives the appearance of a floorless expanse, although in fact it has several floors. The whole area of the ground floor was used as a workshop.

The American-style building decorated with bright coloured faience (glazed ceramic inspired by ancient Egypt. The floodlighting, which it still has today, was part of the original design scheme.

Part of the building is owned by Tesco supermarket which has parking available.

This is one of my favorites. I had to work to get close enough to take this photograph! After a number of failed attempts I finally was able to sneak up from behind.
