Savoy Place History

I had the opportunity to visit Savoy Place with my little one today.  The Faraday Centre is a really nice resource and it's a shame I don't have the opportunity to make use of it a bit more often.


But as I was explaining that it has changed over the years (as things must), my little one didn't believe me that the old members coffee room used to be a dingy room in the basement behind the Faraday statue which was under the shop.  Also they were surprised when I mentioned some of the other things that have changed (like the foyer, the old library, etc).


I was wondering if anyone (IET staff or member) had archive pictures of what it used to look before the updates were made?  Unfortunately I was less of a shutter bug in those days.

  • My three favourite things about the refurbished Savoy Place:


    1 The Faraday Centre - looking out when its dark outside and the river/panorama is illuminated is such a great view

    2.The Roof top terrace - being here day or evening is a treat, how lucky we are to have this facility.

    3. Wall of engineering objects - brings back happy memories and showcases some excellent achievements in techology
