In 1958 this building opened as Herbert Morrison House, 195, Walworth Road - the Labour Party headquarters until the 1990s.
At some point in the past its address seems to have been 3 Browning Street.
Previously called York Street, in 1937 the street was named for Robert Browning who, in 1812, was baptised in the nonconformist chapel shown on this 1895 map.
