West Point, formerly known as Royal Mail House, is a 65 metres (213 ft) tall 17-floor tower block located at number 29 of Wellington Street in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was constructed in 1975 and renovated in 2005 as a huge redevelopment of the old Royal Mail building site, following their move to a new south Leeds purpose built sorting centre. The old building was mostly demolished and what remained was stripped to the bare skeleton and rebuilt, with additional wings added from scratch to the central block.
