Phone numbers and email addresses remain the same, so the switchboard is still 020 7222 7999.
The old HQ at 4 Cowley Street has been the party's HQ since its formation in 1988 (and the HQ for the SDP before then). It's a lovely Grade II listed building, originally the London HQ for the North Eastern Railway Company. However despite an extensive refit just before the 2001 general election, which say many internal walls removed, it has always struggled to be a good quality modern office as the combination of listed features and the old layout meant the the working space was split up into too many smallish offices on different floors, hindering people working together effectively in teams
