I had some of my classes in that building, I was perpetually lost - and the
library in there is awful. Any library where your directions to the correct
section can include things like 'first left, up the stairs, turn left and
then right, across the landing, down the stairs and it's right behind you'
is just evil! I half expected to travel through L-Space and end up in the
Discworld :) Why is it necessary for every university to have one building
where there are no windows on the corridors and every floor looks identical
to every other? At least at my first university you could tell where you
were by the numbering system for the rooms, I *never* worked out the
numbering  system at RHUL.

On the other hand few universities have stately homes on campus. I have The
Professionals on DVD and RHUL plays the part of a private school in one ep,
Windsor substituted for London a couple of times too.
