Bush House in Aldwych was designed by the American architect Harvey Wiley Corbett for the industrialist Irving T. Bush, who commissioned and funded it. John Mowlem & Co built it. The infobox gives 1925 to 1935, matching the text, which adds that the design was approved in 1919 and that sections opened in stages from the Centre Block in 1925 to the South-West Wing in 1935.

The building is Portland stone and Grade II listed. The article names no style or dimensions. The infobox lists Kato Kagaku as owner, but the text says it was first owned by American individuals and companies and does not explain the transfer.

The BBC World Service used it from 1941 to 2012. HMRC vacated the South-West Wing in 2021. King's College London has held a 50-year lease since 2015 and uses the building for its Strand Campus, including King's Business School. The article gives no hours.
