Corporate headquarters that chooses not to participate in city life.
Why can't corporate headquarters in critical locations be shining examples of their participation in their cityÍs life? Rockefeller Center, with GE as its signature tenant, is the best example.

Their location is central to the future of London, and the walkway from Waterloo Station through their building to the waterfront is horrible - probably the worst experience in London and certainly the worst gateway.
