From the Wikipedia article
Upminster Court, on Hall Lane, Cranham, Upminster, in East London is a country house dating from the beginning of the 20th century. It was designed by Charles Reilly and built between 1906-8 for Samuel Williams, a prosperous shipping and coal merchant. After a half-century of institutional use, following the sale of the estate in the 1940s, the house was bought by a logistics company for use as their headquarters. Following the purchase, the company undertook a major restoration of the house and wider estate. The house is a Grade II listed building and its garden is recorded, also at Grade II, on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.
