Thames Cleaning Appointed as Cleaning Services Partner for Orion House, Covent Garden Sunday 5th October 2025
Thames Cleaning is proud to announce its appointment as the new commercial cleaning services provider for Orion House, the landmark 16-storey tower on Upper St. Martin’s Lane, Covent Garden. This contract represents another prestigious addition to Thames’ growing portfolio of iconic central London properties.
Designed by Sir Basil Spence & Partners, the celebrated architect behind Coventry Cathedral, Orion House stands as one of the West End’s most recognisable and historically significant commercial towers. Its combination of heritage architecture, high visibility and modern workplace activity requires a cleaning partner capable of delivering consistent excellence and meticulous presentation.
A Landmark Building Requiring Premium Service Standards
Located between Covent Garden and Leicester Square, Orion House serves as a dynamic commercial base for a wide range of leading businesses. Thames has been selected to maintain the building to an elevated standard, ensuring a clean, well-presented and professional environment at all times.
“We are delighted to be appointed at Orion House, one of the West End’s most distinctive office towers,” said Alex Weller, Managing Director of Thames Cleaning. “This is a heritage building with a modern operational profile, and our team is committed to delivering a pristine, reliable and discreet service that supports the building and everyone who works within it.”
A Tailored and Intelligent Service Model
For Orion House, Thames has designed a premium, intelligently structured cleaning programme that focuses on:
- Consistent day-to-day cleanliness throughout the building
- Periodic and deep cleaning cycles to preserve finishes and protect long-term asset condition
- Modern technologies and assurance systems that enhance quality, hygiene and operational efficiency
- A flexible delivery approach that aligns with the building’s usage patterns and evolving needs
This high-level, unobtrusive service model ensures the tower retains the elevated standards expected of a major West End commercial landmark.
A Partnership Built on Quality and Long-Term Care
Thames’ appointment is a testament to its reputation for reliability, professionalism and its ability to manage complex, high-profile buildings with care and precision. Orion House’s rich heritage — including its RHWL recladding and iconic north-facing sculpture The Spirit of Electricity — underscores the need for a cleaning partner capable of respecting the fabric of the building while supporting contemporary workplace expectations.
Thames looks forward to supporting Orion House through a premium, detail-driven service that ensures this prominent tower continues to stand out as one of the West End’s most desirable commercial destinations.
