BUF LONDON HQ

Just a short post to direct the enquiring reader to this helpful post providing an illustrated history of the BUF's London HQ from 1932 to 1940. This fits in and develops our own earlier post on the VBCW Hereford "Black House".

Oswald Mosley raising the BUF Flag in Central London on 1st October 1932 at the launching
of the first BUF National Headquarters. Note Italian Fasces symbol on the flag at this time,
illustrating Mosley's initial influence by Mussolini. Hitler did not become Chancellor of
Germany until January 1933 and President Hindenberg remained in office until his death
 on 2nd August 1934. A "Google Maps" search will indicate just how close the BUF's
National HQ at 1 Great George Street was to "Big Ben" and the Houses of Parliament
