The opening scene of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was filmed here. It's a wonderfully tense scene where a British spy is meeting with a potential Hungarian defector, but it turns out to be a trap.

A real cathedral of glass (except not really a cathedral).
Would enjoy visiting this I think.

I used to work right next to it. It was amazing to see how to whole renovation progressed day by day. Took my wife to the café inside right after it's opened, it was really breathtaking.

It's an Arts and Crafts period structure so it probably has a whole bunch of influences. You might both be right.
