As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to a team of dedicated men diligently working on steel reinforcements. Bathed in warm sunshine, their hard hats and reflective vests stand out against the backdrop of towering cranes and the skeletal structure taking shape. Vauxhall Cross, also known as the SIS or MI6 Building, holds a significant place in British history.

The construction journey began with ground works in 1990 and culminated in its completion two years later. This print from Historic England Archive not only showcases an important architectural landmark but also immortalizes the dedication and craftsmanship involved in its creation.
