1st November 2012 marked London's attempt to raise £1 million for the Royal British Legion in the build up to this year's forthcoming Rememberance Sunday. Courtesy of Oliver Blake, Albert Court were extremely privileged to have two members from the Intelligence Corp visit the offices. As reservists they support a number of other units and establishments within British Defence. Staff made extremely generous donations and were delighted to be part of such a worthwhile cause. After a hot cup of coffee, their next destination was St James' Park. Additionally Rebecca Ward, of Exosphere, was at Clapham Junction station at 6.30am selling knitted poppies to commuters.

The latest 007 Bond Film Premiere took place at The Royal Albert Hall last night, giving our Albert Court staff a ringside view of the special event. Skyfall marks the 50th anniversary of the film franchise. The glitzy evening drew large crowds of people cheering the stars on the red carpet, which stretched along the streets around the venue and of course, our office. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall were in attendance along with actors Daniel Craig, Dame Judi Dench, additional co-stars, celebrity guests and the paparazzi.

It has also been built with the traveller in mind and works well with all portable devises.
