Grand Connaught window
A window with obscured view of the opposite roofline from one on the rooms in the Grand Connaught Rooms in London. The building was originally part of the Freemasons Hall next door, but was divided in 1908 to provide elegant dining rooms. Having faded somewhat during the late 20th century, the GCR has been refurbished as conference and banqueting room. Sadly I was only there for the former, though the lunch was very good. The loos are the most distant I've encountered at a conference venue requiring several doors and flights of stairs, a map, asked directions and a modicum of luck.
