Ibex House

Ibex House is an eleven storey Art Deco office building in Tower Hamlets, London. Standing on the east side of Minories, it was designed by Fuller, Hall and Foulsham in the Streamline Moderne style, and completed in 1937. It occupies almost half the block formed by Minories and Haydon, Portsoken and Mansell Streets. It was awarded a Grade II listing in 1982[1] in recognition of its architectural integrity.[2]
