So I accidentally rejected this comment from the Duke of Waltham. Sorry, Your Grace.<br />"Looking up the school on Wikipedia I remembered this BBC Magazine article on Central Saint Martins; it describes the building as "a complete dump internally, by all accounts". I wonder what will happen to it now, though I cannot claim to care much about a building of which the appearance and history are a complete mystery to me—with the exception of what I've read and seen here, of course.<br /><br />(I also found that, through a series of mergers, the two former co-tenants of the building now belong to the same institution, the University of the Arts London. Be it in business, government or academia, unpicking the history of conglomerations can hold a curious fascination for me.)
