The London Michelin House Grey Card card is part of the Sun Collection. These cards are the perfect gift for the architecture lover in your life, or a memento of a trip to London, or simply for you to keep.

Michelin House at 81 Fulham Road, Chelsea, London, was constructed as the first permanent UK headquarters and tyre depot for the Michelin Tyre Company Ltd. The building opened for business on 20 January 1911. In 1987 the building was converted to mixed-use, with a store, restaurant, bar and office space. Designed by one of Michelin’s employees, François Espinasse, the building has three large stained-glass windows based on Michelin advertisements of the time, all featuring the Michelin Man “Bibendum”. Around the front of the original building at street level there is a number of decorative tiles showing famous racing cars of the time that used Michelin tyres. Two glass cupolas, which look like piles of tyres, frame either side of the front of the building. Michelin moved out of the building in 1985, when it was purchased by publisher Paul Hamlyn and the restaurateur/retailer Sir Terence Conran, who shared a love for the building. They embarked on a major redevelopment that included the restoration of some the original features.

We believe that businesses are responsible for achieving good environmental practice and should operate where possible in a sustainable manner. We are therefore committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and operating methods. Not only is this sound commercial sense for all, it is also a matter of delivering on our duty of care towards future generations.

Our card supplier has always taken environmental concerns seriously, as they print solely on HP Indigo Digital Presses our Pre Press Department is able to be entirely digital as there are no printing plates required for the printing process. All empty ink cans from the presses are re-cycled as is the small amount of waste imaging oil resulting from the printing process. In addition all replacement parts are also returned to the printer’s manufacturer for recycling. All waste paper and board is collected for recycling.

Please note:
* The colours you see on your screen may not look exactly the same as the actual print. This is because every computer, Smart phone and iPad screen is configured differently. Hopefully you will think the card looks even more beautiful in real life
