Look up at the ceiling. There are original stained-glass panels showing winged horses and aeroplanes. It’s like a medieval church went to an aviation convention. Someone decades ago said, “Let’s put flying chariots on the ceiling because it’s cool.”
Also: the building has a secret internal telephone exchange. Yes, a literal switchboard room that connected calls to distant countries. It’s still there, dusty and glorious. Press a button, and you might summon an echo from 1937.
And the toilets? They’re original 1920s porcelain with cisterns that sound like a flushing cathedral organ. Not even joking. You go in there to pee, and you feel like you’re greeting the queen.
