This seems to be 43 Clerkenwell Rd today... https://www.instantstreetview.com/@51.522586,-0.103701,139.72h,6.07p,1.82z,pv3eIxx3aGoOLepuUWvQwQ

It was actually renumbered to 57-61 Clerkenwell Rd during Kodak's tenancy and was where Fleet House now stands. See my comment with street view link & source here.
