I worked there for a number of years and certainly the collective wisdom was that the building in its curtailed form and possibly in its much grander extended mass was earmarked as the British HQ of any occupying German forces. I had the misfortune to suffer the heart stopping sight of the main tower covered in 10 storey Nuremberg style Swastika banners that had been placed there for a film and had my very own "what if" moment<br />Definitely missed opportunity and one that I would miss today too as much like your good self my phone allows calls to be made and received and not much else ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850172499490375035.post-62515914942701597322014-11-28T14:46:40.283+00:002014-11-28T14:46:40.283+00:00Anonymous, yes there were plans for a vast hall wh...Anonymous, yes there were plans for a vast hall which would have run across what is Birkbeck College, SOAS and the Students' Union building so the Chancellor could process up that street while still inside.<br /><br />That must have been a stunning experience. It is a shame you did not have a camera as you could have sold those photos to many a publisher.<br /><br />The only similar thing I encountered was in the 1990s when it was being used for one of the 'Batman' movies at the time. We all had to enter through a side door rather than the main entrance and sitting outside it was a US police car but with a Gotham City seal on the doors.Rooksmoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563445039351828997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850172499490375035.post-32193688228913661272014-11-28T14:40:52.259+00:002014-11-28T14:40:52.259+00:00Hi
