Minster Court is a complex of three buildings, completed between 1991 and 1992 designed by architects GMW Partnership. The style has been described as postmodern-gothic.
The building briefly appeared in Disney’s 1996 live-action movie 101 Dalmatians as the exterior of Cruella De Vil’s Haute couture fashion house.
In the late 19th century it was the world’s leading centre for tea and spice trading.
