Summary

Built in 1936–8 by the builders John Laing & Son Ltd, and designed by Culpin & Son the building was constructed in Red brick and called Wigton House, it was occupied for manufacturing and warehousing by a variety of companies including Scholl the foot ware company, a brand started by podiatrist William Mathias Scholl in 1906.

In the late 1990s Wigton House was converted to apartments by Warner Lofts and renamed 'The Paramount Building'. The building was glamorised with white painted render and glass balconies while the top three floors have spectacular roof terraces with Skyline views of most well-known London Landmarks.
