headquarters of the Royal Mail: Montcalm Royal London House. A property with a
bold new perspective at Montcalm East, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection.

pioneering architecture and a bold approach to life, the hotel reflects the
creative spirit of its Shoreditch setting. With a prime position on City Road
