SIS Building
The SIS Building or MI6 Building at Vauxhall Cross houses the headquarters of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, MI6). It is located at 85 Albert Embankment in Vauxhall, a south western part of central London, United Kingdom, on the bank of the River Thames beside Vauxhall Bridge.
==Background==
MI6 had previously been based at Century House, a 22-storey office block on Westminster Bridge Road, Lambeth, near Waterloo Station.〔 The location of the headquarters was classified information, though the ''Daily Telegraph'' reported that it was 'London's worst-kept secret, known only to every taxi driver, tourist guide and KGB agent'.〔 Century House was described as "irredeemably insecure" in a 1985 National Audit Office report with security concerns raised in a survey; the building was made largely of glass, and had a petrol station at its base.〔 Security concerns combined with the remaining short leasehold and cost of modernizing the building were important factors in moving to a new headquarters.〔
