Apollo House is a 22-storey high-rise office building at 36 Wellesley Road in the London Borough of Croydon, London, England. In common with a neighbouring building Lunar House and others developed by Harry Hyams,[1] the building's name was inspired by the Apollo 11 Moon landing in 1969.
Like Lunar House, Apollo serves as the headquarters of
Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Services section were based on floors 17 and 18.[3] Now, the Home Office
possesses this area.
Not to be confused with the fictional 'Apollo House' from Peep Show, the building used is Zodiac Court located on London Road in West Croydon.
