Millbank Tower (IE Headquarters)

Millbank Tower rises as a slender concrete obelisk along the Thames, its reflective glass facade catching the low winter light. The building's height and austere lines make it a visible landmark in Westminster’s skyline, though its upper floors remain shrouded in secrecy under bureaucratic classification. Its subterranean levels stretch further than the tower appears, housing secure chambers accessed through armored corridors and retinal-scanned airlocks. The entrance is guarded by closed-circuit cameras and uniformed personnel, their posture belying the tension in their communications. Beneath the polished lobby, a network of tunnels and service corridors connects to older government buildings, their air thick with the hum of generators and the scent of aged concrete.
