I thought you might be interested in having a look at some scenes I recorded of the European Parliament in Brussels. When I last visited four years ago, there was much building work taking place to provide accommodation for MEPs and staff from the new eastern European countries.

That has now been completed and two new office blocks are linked to the main Altiero Spinelli building on Rue Wiertz by a circular path which you will be able to follow. You will see an old facade at the beginning of the film. This belonged to an old railway station and as a treasured monument, it had to remain and the Parliament was built around it.

There is an amazing giant steel sculture in the atrium and I have included some of my favourite fixtures, the wall lights by the lifts and post boxes.

Here is a link to another video I made with Ruth who was on a visit to Robert Sturdy’s office from Defra. I like the cafe you can see with its different coloured seats which break up the beige blandness – and the freshly squeezed orange juice is delicious!
