Bush House, Grade II listed building in City of Westminster, England
Bush House stands at the intersection of Aldwych and Kingsway, featuring a classical stone exterior with two monumental figures at its entrance point.
The construction of Bush House, completed in 1935, required an investment of 2 million pounds, making it the most expensive building in London at that time.
From 1941 to 2012, Bush House functioned as the main center for BBC World Service, broadcasting news and programs to international audiences across multiple languages.
The building maintains strict preservation regulations due to its Grade II status, requiring specific permits for any structural modifications or repairs to the exterior.
Two stone figures above the entrance share what appears to be an ice cream cone, representing the connection between British and American nations.
