The decision to build a new Home Office Hub in Croydon was based on the need to consolidate the existing offices and provide a more efficient and effective working environment for the staff.
The new building will accommodate over 5,000 civil servants and enable the Home Office to migrate from three current locations in Croydon, including Lunar House, to the building in the summer 2024.
The site will play a major role in our work to keep the country safe, secure and prosperous. It will provide a modern space that is sustainable and which offers a collaborative and enjoyable working environment. I would like to thank all those who are working hard to make this innovative building a reality. I very much look forward to its completion next year.
Matthew Rycroft, Home Office Permanent Secretary
The completion of the Home Office Hub in Croydon is a significant achievement for Croydon and the move of over 5,000 civil servants in 2024 is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy and support the development of the area.
