The global cosmetics firm occupies around 130,000 sq ft at 255 Hammersmith Road on a lease due to expire in 2022.
Although the search is still at a very early stage, it is understood that L’Oreal has retained Cushman & Wakefield to carry out preliminary research.

According to market sources, the firm has looked at buildings in Hammersmith and White City.
If L’Oreal were to relocate to another building in Hammersmith, potential sites for a large requirement could include Romulus Construction’s 10-storey, 180,000 sq ft Triangle or Eastern & Oriental’s Hammersmith tower site, which includes 135,000 sq ft of offices.
