The headquarters of the British Secret Intelligence Service

            Vauxhall Cross, is located at 85 Albert Embankment in Vauxhall, a south western part of central London, on the bank of the River Thames beside Vauxhall Bridge. The building was completed in April 1994 and officially opened by Her Majesty the Queen in July of that year. In September 2000 the building was attacked by unapprehended forces using a Russian-built RPG-22 anti-tank missile, causing superficial damage.The Metropolitan Police recovered the discarded missile launcher at Spring Gardens park in Vauxhall, as well as finding remains of the missile which had exploded against an eighth floor window. Dissident Irish Republicans were believed to have been behind the attack
