Spotted this gem on a recent walk with @sidshekhar along London’s Victoria Embankment. The 12-story edifice, known as Shell Mex House, opened in 1932 and was once the headquarters of a joint venture by Shell and BP. With a diameter of 25 ft, its clock face surpasses that of Big Ben, making it the largest in London.

Very much so. It actually stands at the former site of two other iconic buildings: Salisbury House (~1603) and Hotel Cecil (1896). Shame the three do not coexist.
