The organisation has reached an agreement with King’s Cross Central Limited Partnership, the company driving the area’s regeneration, to lease approximately 52,000 sq ft in the Allies & Morrison-designed Two Pancras Square.

The move will enable PRS for Music to maintain a central London presence while rationalising costs.

The society will occupy the top four floors of the 130,000 sq ft nine storey building situated just north of King’s Cross and St Pancras International stations.

It will leave its current headquarters in Berners Street by the end of next year, with Two Pancras Square becoming its central London office alongside a refurbished existing Streatham premises.

Robert Ashcroft, chief executive of PRS for Music, said: ‘This is a significant move for our organisation, having been at our Berners Street offices for over 60 years. Relocating part of our business to King’s Cross enables us to maintain a central London presence at the heart of the music industry.

‘We are also investing heavily in our Streatham facility, making it the centre of our operations, IT and member services teams. The combined move will offer an exciting new workspace for our staff and represents the best value for our music creator members.’
