HSBC’s Group Head Office building stands proudly in the vibrant business district of Canary Wharf in East London, and is home to around 8,000 employees. Energy-efficient systems have been installed to help make the building environmentally friendly, while all furniture and equipment can be recycled and there are procedures in place to minimise the amount of waste produced.
But it’s not just a state of the art working environment; it’s an exciting, lively and friendly one too. And one that offers an impressive range of facilities and services for our employees, including:
- Subsidised staff restaurant
- Health club and gym
- In-house ATM and banking facilities
- Learning centres and training floor
- Medical and dental suites
- Close to tube, train (DLR) and bus links
Guarding the main entrance to 8 Canada Square are two bronze lions. Replicas of those which have stood outside HSBC’s Hong Kong headquarters since 1935, each lion’s base contains eight coins – eight being a symbol of good fortune in Chinese tradition.
