[6] Originally called the New Law Life Assurance Society, the Society was limited to lawyers. The name was changed to Legal & General Life Assurance Society to reflect the fact that the policies were available to the general public, but ownership of the shares was limited to lawyers. The group expanded into the UK and soon began acquiring foreign life insurance companies, buying a retirement business from the Metropolitan Life Assurance Company of New York in the 1930s. [6] (vi) contain contact information such as telephone numbers, postal or e-mail addresses; In the 1940s, Legal & General`s headquarters were moved from Temple Bar House in the City of London to a converted former girls` school in leafy Kingswood, Surrey, with the exception of some management functions that remained in London. The girls` school (St. Monica`s), which served as the basis for the site, was attended by writer Vera Brittain, mother of politician Shirley Williams. [10] The Kingswood site, which included sports fields, a park, a large and luxurious swimming pool, a canteen and a mock English pub, was expanded in the 1950s and again in the 1980s. [11] In 2015, it was announced that the headquarters would close “possibly before 2025.” [12] [13] Indeed, after a period of uncertainty for Kingswood employees,[14] it was announced that the site would close much earlier, in 2018.
