32 Lincoln's Inn Fields

The west wing and centre of the building were built between 1903 and 1905, and the east wing was completed in 1912–1913. The Land Registrar Charles Brickdale based the design of the building on Blickling Hall in Norfolk. The designs were executed by the Office of Works under Henry Tanner and the supervising architect was Richard Allison.[1]

The building was formerly used as the Head Office of HM Land Registry before being sold to the London School of Economics (LSE), which turned it into an academic facility; it now houses its Department of Economics and the International Growth Centre.[2]

The building was built in two stages between 1903 and 1913.[3][4]

It is listed at Grade II on the National Heritage List for England.[1]
