Government Offices Great George Street ('GOGGS') is a large UK government office building situated in Westminster between Horse Guards Road, Parliament Street, King Charles Street and Parliament Square. The western end of the building, on Horse Guards Road, is known as 1 Horse Guards Road ('1HGR') and is occupied by HM Treasury, UK Export Finance and parts of the Cabinet Office. Major refurbishment of 1HGR added floor space which allowed, in 2002, the entire Treasury staff to be housed within it. This was first time the Treasury was in the same building since 50 years before. The headquarters of HM Revenue and Customs and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport occupy the Parliament Street end, referred to as 100 Parliament Street. The basement houses the Churchill War Rooms, a branch of the Imperial War Museum. GOGGS is a grade II* listed building, meaning it is of "exceptional interest and of outstanding importance". It was described by the Victorian Society as an early monument of the Edwardian Baroque Revival. GOGGS was designed by John Brydon following a competition. Construction took place in two phases: the West end was completed in 1908 and the East end was completed in 1917. It was originally built as offices for Board of Education, the Local Government Board and the local Ministry of Works Office; HM Treasury moved into the building in 1940. A major refurbishment of the building was completed under a PFI contract by Bovis Lend Lease in 2004. Foster + Partners together with Feilden and Mawson were the architects for the refurbishment.
