Keybridge house was great. Disappear down the ramp , 2 sub level car parks, a storage tunnel. Mezzanine floors. Huge canteen on the 10th floor with a great view across the Thames. Even had a bar until the early 90s. Short walk to the Queen Anne if you fancied that sort of thing.
Some people outside must have thought we were all spies on our way to the MI5 building underground.
Little did they know part of it was occupied by a bank.

Never really got to use any of the facilities in Keybridge house sadly, Most of the time I was there during the night to pick up maintenance kits and/or stores.

It was a building lost in time. Looked grotty as a run down council estate on the outside, not much better inside, but was a real mystery tour going round it. So many hidden rooms. Baynard house was similar.
Looked like it never went past privatisation, perennially stuck in the early 80s.

I remember Baynard House fondly from my days working for BT and with Faraday opposite and Dominant House where the Salvation Army is now Queen Victoria Street was a busy road for BT buildings.
