The architect of Elizabeth House was the notorious John Poulson (1910-1993), better known for weaving a web of corruption in local government (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Poulson ). Creeping into the edge of the shot on the left is a now-demolished part of the Shell Centre. That, and the open space from which the picture was taken, are now covered by new development.
