This one uses glass & all its operating gear is in the grey bit at the end, so weighs a tonne! Apparently from M25: it did have them near Watford (last pic)

https://toot.community/@lccmunic...In 1951, the Middlesex Borough of Ealing celebrated its Golden Jubilee. The rather grand Gothic Revival style of the town hall is reminiscent of a Northern city rather than typical London fare, a statement of ambition for this large authority which had (doomed) designs on County Borough status.

https://toot.community/@lccmunic...The badges of the GLC: Oppose the Police Bill.
Part of the GLC’s broader campaign to make the Met accountable to the London electorate rather than maintaining it under direct Home Office control. This badge refers to the battle against what became the Police and Criminal Evidence Act.

https://toot.community/@lccmunic...Municipal guide of the day: the former Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury. This one dates from c.1935. I was intrigued by the Baker Street flats - a bit of extra-territorial expansion into St Marylebone? No - those familiar with the area will recognise it as Finsbury’s Lloyd Baker Street!
