London, 20 May - Debrett’s, founded in London in 1769, is returning to the capital with the opening of its new office at 17 Carlisle Street in Soho, part of the growing ThamesBank Properties portfolio of central London office buildings. 

ThamesBank Properties is a design-led developer and investor, specialising in characterful buildings defined by volume, light and architectural integrity. Over the past three years, its portfolio of prime London assets has expanded considerably, comprising high-quality office buildings and development sites across the capital.

Eduardo Foster, Director at ThamesBank Properties, said: 

“We are delighted to welcome Debrett’s to Carlisle Street. Following a prolonged period of vacancy, we acquired the building and began refurbishment within a week of completion, transitioning it from a corporate fit-out to a design more in keeping with the character of Soho and the needs of its occupiers. Just over five months from legal completion, we are pleased to see the building fully occupied once again.” 

James England, Managing Partner and Head of Investments at Debrett’s, said: 

“We are delighted to be establishing our new London office at Carlisle Street. Debrett's famously had a presence for many years on Piccadilly, and I'm delighted we have re-established a London address.  

Our 30-strong London team, spanning Advisory, Investments, Coaching and Mulberry Bow, our wealth management partners, will be based here. Together with our regional offices, this strengthens our ability to serve clients across the UK. 

ThamesBank Properties has delivered an exceptional space, and we are very pleased to continue our longstanding relationship with Eduardo Foster and the Foster family, along with ThamesBank board member Richard Dilworth, which spans more than 20 years.”
