Lunar House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lunar House is a twenty-storey office block on the East side (at No. 40) of Wellesley Road, Croydon, and houses the headquarters of the Border and Immigration Agency (BIA), an executive agency of the Home Office; the building's name has become synonymous with the BIA, and is perceived by the British public as being the front line of Britain's immigration service.
As with other government office buildings on Wellesley Road, such as Apollo House, the name of the building was inspired by the US moon landings (In the Croydon suburb of New Addington there is a public house, built during the same period, called The Man on the Moon).
