Vauxhall Cross (MI6)

The Secret Intelligence Services Building, more commonly known as the MI6 Building, is the headquarters of the British Secret Intelligence Service, situated on the Albert Embankment section of the River Thames in London. The site on which the building stands had been the location of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and along with various industrial buildings after the demolition of the Pleasure Garden's in the 1850s. In 1983, the site was bought by property developers Ragalian Properties, and a competition to develop the site was won by Terry Farrell and Partners, with an urban village as Farrells' original proposal. Following the decision of the British Government to purchase the site and building as a new headquarters for the SIS, a scheme of office blocks was subsequently developed for the site with the government agency as the occupier. The building was completed in 1993-1994.
