Now they tell me …
For almost three years, I have worked part-time from 28-30 Grosvenor Gardens, near Victoria Station in central London, as a member of the Council of Postwatch, the watchdog for postal consumers. Last month, Postwatch closed down and was merged with two other consumer organisations to form Consumer Focus which is located in another building opposite the House of Fraser department store in Artillery Row.
Only now that I’ve left Grosvenor Gardens have I been told that the building was the main location for the shooting of the 1965 film “The Ipcress File”. As a massive movie fan, I would have loved to have known this years ago and then I could have fantasized about being secret agent Harry Palmer as I went about my postal business.
