When I got home that night I was after some information.....
Not knowing the name of the building at this point I searched on the net for 'ugly building south lambeth rd', this is where the project started to get interesting for me.
It seems I am not the only one with a strange fascination for Keybridge House. I found forums where fans discuss, articles of hatred from journalists, petitions to sign from local residents and wonderfully, theories of conspiracy surrounding its real purpose.
Keybridge House is owned by BT and is down as one of its phone exchanges, or at least was until recently, it is not exactly sure how in use it is at the moment. I read that no one is really seen entering or emerging except for the odd black car driving from the car park underneath the tower. Visitors report tight security and concealed corridors!
With the M16 building just down the road some believe this to be the real centre of surveillance. It is believed that tunnels may lead from underground to other parts and that the building is as deep as it is tall!
