It was originally the Barclays Bank HQ. I can imagine what the architects thought of their clients...

Yes, it's the old new Barclays building in the City, as opposed to the old-old one. They get through them. I rather like it. I worked in the new new one in Churchill Place for a while. Lovely place to work apart from the queues for the lifts of a lunchtime.

I work in said phallic building. Quite good as generic office buildings go.

Wasn't there an old place in age church Street before that was built? Think I was on site somewhere round there for a while. Plus I spent some time in the old BZW building down on Aswan Lane in the late 80s.

Native British trees. There's 37 of them according to the Woodland Trust. It'd be rude not to, I think.

Not exactly native British, Beezers dear. There are two oaks though. We might actually learn something here.

There are two service trees. What on earth they are will be revealed in due course, one hopes.
