Is this the ugliest office in Britain?

Interesting article in The Observer about Keybridge House.

Sounds like it's going to continue blotting the landscape until 2011 when the sub-lets are up and BT will probably sell the site for development.

Some interesting stuff in the article:

For years there have been delicious conspiracy rumours about Keybridge House. Certainly, cheerful bands of BT workers are never seen coming and going. It is suspiciously quiet at street level, but black cars swoosh in and out of the vast basement, said to be as deep below the surface as the building is tall above. There is circumstantial evidence of unusual levels of microwave activity in the area. We are near MI6, and just down the road is the tapas bar where spooks ritually leave laptops, to tabloid delight. It is rumoured there are tunnels so Smiley or Adam can pop up somewhere between the cerveza and the jamon. A visitor reported 'mobile phone restrictions, guards accompanying most of the time, endless sealed corridors'.
