New Calpe House, completed in 2016, replaced the original Calpe House in London — a building that had served Gibraltar's community in the UK since 1969 as a hostel, social hub, and welfare resource for Gibraltarians living or transiting through Britain. The replacement on Methley Street in Kennington was a significant civic project funded partly by the Gibraltar government.
Bimetallic £2 issues from Gibraltar in this period were produced in modest quantities aimed squarely at the collector market rather than general circulation.
