History

The 17-storey building was completed in 1966 and is the tallest building in the borough.[1]

Since 19 March 2012 its ground floor has also housed Sidcup's police station.[2] A refurbishment was completed in 2020.[3]

The Metropolitan Police Museum, previously located in an annexe of the Empress State Building in West Brompton, relocated to Marlowe House in October 2022.[4]
