All civil servants have now left 10 Victoria Street, a government building which is being closed as part of the government’s Plan for London.
On Thursday, all civil servants based at 10 Victoria Street officially completed their departure from the building, transferring to other offices in the capital, including 100 Parliament Street and 26 Whitehall.
Around 1,000 staff from a number of civil service departments, including the Cabinet Office, had occupied the space.
Staff began moving to their new bases in June, with the final teams completing their transfer last week.
The Government Property Agency said it expects to make £8.8m in annual savings from the imminent closure of 10 Victoria Street, will now be cleared of furniture and equipment before being handed back over to the landlord in February.
Sean Webb, Plan for London programme manager at the GPA, said: “The civil service exit from 10 Victoria Street is a significant milestone for the GPA and the Plan for London.
“We worked closely with our client departments to ensure staff affected by the building’s closure have been well-informed and supported throughout the move to their new workspaces as we looked to ensure a smooth transition across our portfolio.
“We aim to continue making strong progress on the consolidation of the office estate in the capital, supporting the government’s priorities and securing substantial savings.”
The Plan for London was launched in May and will involve the closure of “no fewer than 11 buildings” by 2030, with annual savings of £94m anticipated. Office closures that have been announced so far include 102 Petty France, Caxton House and 39 Victoria Street.
Last month, the GPA announced that two offices – The Rookery and Clive House – had been closed, with 1,500 civil servants transferring to other sites. The GPA said the closure of these two offices would bring in a combined £8.7m saving in annual costs.
