Wow I was gonna say it looks like the bald eagle from the US seal with the olive branch and stuff. Maybe I just have a wacked out notion of what an eagle looks like.

What an odd contrast. The complicated ornate piece right below that simple plain sign.

thats the kind of ceiling i'd... not walk under. speaking of which, i would also have some serious reservations about walking around on the floor above. its good to know they did the doors right though, you can never have doors to fancy, thats what i always say!

In interesting mix, the sign is in standard NHS style.

Don't know the font though.

I love the designs and craftsmanship of the past. So very caring in their arts. Is it ironic the eagle head is facing away from the departments or am I the only one that notices these things?
