Let’s get the boring bits out of the way first (I promise, it gets less boring). Cardinal Place is a modern office and retail complex smack-dab in the heart of Victoria, London, at that very specific postcode: SW1E 5JE. It was finished in 2005, which in architecture years makes it a wise, slightly edgy millennial.
It’s home to everyone from big corporate law firms to the kind of fancy shops where you feel awkward touching the price tags. But honestly, the real star here is its location—right across from Victoria Station. You can practically trip out of the train doors and into its lobby.
