Brompton Oratory is a beautiful song by Nick cave and the Bad Seeds, and is vaguely fitting as I had a wonderful yime delivering my Adder Talk last night. There were 52 people attended, a magnificent turnout and lots of questions, so hopefully everyone enjoyed it. I love giving talks, it's great to get that feedback from the audience, and to share in the love of the natural world.

The Empress State Building in West Brompton in the background
The building is named after the Empress Hall which formerly stood on the site, and in tribute to the Empire State Building. It was completed in 1962 for the Admiralty on the site of the former Empress Hall and ice rink as a commercial building and was 100 metres (328 ft) tall with 28 floors, designed by Stone, Toms & Partners and was briefly the tallest commercial building in London until Millbank Tower was built in 1962. It was renovated in 2003 to a design by Wilkinson Eyre Architects. Three floors and 17.3 metres (57 ft) were added to its height. Plus a frontal extension of 5 meters 'Orbit' is the name given to the private revolving bar on the top floor which offers panoramic views of London.The revolving bar element was shut down
This building was originally designed as a hotel but was first used by the Admiralty and GCHQ. The Directorate of Naval Shore Telecommunications (formerly the Naval Shore Telecommunications Authority) had their national headquarters in the building in the 1980s and 90, as did the Directorate of Fleet Supply Duties.

Darren Wilkin and I were lucky to come upon members of the London Flickr Group and also find the chapel open in Brompton Cemetery.
If you haven't guessed, this was taken with a fisheye lens :)
