In the Shadow of Senate House

This is the title of a series of events, in and around Birkbeck College. It concentrates on Charles Holden's portland stone/granite monolith, and its many lives - among them:

• as the Ministry of Information
• as a statement by the University of London of its power and influence
• as London's first skyscraper
• as Orwell's Ministry of Truth
• as the home of the most secure bunkers in London
