Centre Point
is a large office building on the intersection of [[Oxford Street]], [[Tottenham Court Road]], [[New Oxford Street]], and [[Charing Cross Road]]. It is a useful landmark as it can be seen from most of the surrounding area. It stands on top of [[Tottenham Court Road Station]].

Note that the official Centre of London (as defined by Royal Mail),
is not Centre Point, but [[Charing Cross]]. This has been so since long before Centre Point was built.

It was built from 1963-1966, has 35 floors and is 117 metres high. The architect was Richard Seifert.

In 1995 it was made a listed building (grade II). It is currently occupied by the Confederation of British Industry.
