Bentham House Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:


Take a moment to admire Bentham House! This Grade II Listed building (originally named Thorne House) was built between 1953 and 57 as the headquarters of the National Union of General and Municipal Workers (hence the carved relief of labouring men above the fourth floor windows), but in 1964 it was purchased by the University College London (UCL) Faculty of Laws and renamed Bentham House after the philosopher Jeremy Bentham. The building was designed by the architectural practice H and H Martin Lidbetter who also designed the Friends House on Euston Road which you can see across the road from Bentham House and which has a small but lovely public garden you can use if you need a rest.

The cache is a small magnetic capsule just a few steps away from the entrance.

During term time the area can be busy so stealth mode is needed!

Wheelchair access.
