4 Millbank or Great Peter House is an office block in Millbank, London, originally built as a headquarters for the Crown Agents for the Colonies. The offices were built between 1912 and 1916 by architects John William Simpson and Maxwell Ayrton for the Crown Agents. A northwest extension was added in 1920. Despite being designed outside the reign of Edward VII it retains an Edwardian style, rather than the more popular Arts and Crafts designs of the period. Omrania carried out a redevelopment of the site between 1989-1991 while retaining its original facade. Following the work, it became popular with television stations, hosting studios for the BBC and ITV.

Buxton Memorial Fountain
Buxton Memorial Fountain

The Buxton Memorial Fountain is a memorial and drinking fountain in London, the United Kingdom, that commemorates the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire in 1834, and in particular, the role of British parliamentarians in the abolition campaign.It was commissioned by Charles Buxton MP, and was dedicated to his father Thomas Fowell Buxton along with William Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson, Thomas Babington Macaulay, Henry Brougham and Stephen Lushington, all of whom were involved in the abolition. It was designed by Charles Buxton, who was himself an amateur architect, in collaboration with the neo-Gothic architect Samuel Sanders Teulon (1812–1873) in 1865. It coincided with the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which effectively ended slavery in the United States. The memorial was completed in February 1866.It was originally constructed in Parliament Square, erected at a cost of £1,200. As part of the postwar redesign of the square it was removed in 1949 and not reinstated in its present position in Victoria Tower Gardens until 1957. There were eight decorative figures of British rulers on it, but four were stolen in 1960 and four in 1971. They were replaced by fibreglass figures in 1980. By 2005 these were missing, and the fountain was no longer working. Between autumn 2006 and February 2007 restoration works were carried out. The restored fountain was unveiled on 27 March 2007 as part of the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the act to abolish the slave trade.A memorial plaque commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Anti-Slavery Society was added in 1989.
