Old War Office Building — Attraction in London

This is an extraordinary building, full of history with much of the old architectural design still in place. They have renovated the building to a very high degree, being sensitive to its surroundings.

It's a shame that such an amazing building that played such a significant part in European history is being so cheaply...
