Damien Hirst, the artist who made his name preserving dead animals in formaldehyde, has spent £40m on a Soho headquarters.

Science (UK), Hirst’s art production company, bought the 27,742 sq ft building from Enstar Capital and Landcap and plans to turn it into his headquarters, studio and art complex.
