Dating back to circa 1938, this image offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural grandeur of this iconic Art Deco and Neo-Classical building. Designed by Sir Charles Holden, the Senate House was completed in 1937 and served as the central administrative hub for the University of London. The building's distinctive design, characterized by its imposing columns, intricate stonework, and ornate detailing, was a testament to the University's commitment to academic excellence and its rich history.
