City Hall interior – office space and spirals
The interior of London City Hall. This spiral doesn’t actually go around the edges of the entire building. Wrapped around three quarters of the spiral are where you’ll see the building’s actual offices. These are a far cry from the almost sterile modern offices you’ll see nowadays — they’re packed full of archival boxes, tonnes of paper and a general mess. One could say this could metaphorically reflect the general Mayoral administration, but seeing as most places I’ve worked have desks that are even worse than this (including mine) and things seem to run OK, whereas the opposite could be said for pristine, clean buildings, I don’t think desks are necessarily a reflection of the greater company. Below are images of some of the desks – you’ll notice plenty of reflections and glare looking into these awkwardly-laid out offices.
