John Smith House (Southwark)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Smith House is the former Labour Party headquarters at 144-152 Walworth Road in South London.
It was renamed after John Smith, a former leader of the Labour Party who died in office in 1994.
Between 1995 and 1997 the Labour Party moved most of its functions from John Smith House to Millbank Tower. In 1990 The Labour Party Archive and Library moved from Walworth Road to join the People's History Museum. In 2001 the main Party offices moved again to 16 Old Queen Street in Westminster.
John Smith House is now used by Southwark Local Education Authority. Next door is the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions.
