Summary

St Olaf House on Tooley Street was Designed by H S Goodhart-Rendel for the Hays Wharf Company in 1928-32 as offices and warehousing, the Art Deco facade includes turrets and angled walls. The building is named after the Viking chieftain Olaf Haraldsson (St. Olaf) who attacked London by river in 1009 and tore down London Bridge.

It was built on the site of St Olave's church (an alternative spelling of the name) which had occupied the site from the 11th century, was rebuilt in 1740 and finally demolished around 1926.
