Louis Armstrong who was 66 years and 10 months when he peaked with "What A Wonderful World"/"Cabaret" in Feb 1968.
Oldest woman is Cher who was 52 years and 7 months when she hit the number 1 spot with "Believe" (1999).
Special mention must go to Kenneth Wolstenholme. Born on 17th July 1920, he went on to become a commentator for the BBC, uttering the immortal line "they think it's all over, it is now" at the end of England's 1966 World Cup final victory. His words spoken words were used (albeit re-voiced) in Englandneworder's chart-topper from June 1990, "World In Motion". Though he was uncredited on the track, this makes Wolstenholme the oldest person to appear on a no.1 single whilst still alive (a month shy of his 70th birthday, though only 45 when he uttered the words!)
Record for the longest gap between birth date and occupying the no. 1 spot overall goes to Nigel Patrick. His original 1966 commentary featured on the "World In Motion" single. Born on 2nd May 1913, he would have been been 77 at the time of his most recent (and only) number 1 (albeit uncredited). Sadly, he died in 1981 oblivious to the fact that he would go on to be a 'pop star'.

Standard Chartered's offices are in Basinghall Avenue. They are a large internatioanl Bank, mainly based in the old Commonwealth Countries, but I doubt they have more than 1 address in London.
