The man behind the idea of the PANOPTICON, Jeremy Bentham's body encased in a case in the Jeremy Bentham Room at  UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON, GOWER STREET, LONDON. WC1E 6BT!

       

Whilst looking this up, I came across another interesting address UCL JILL DANDO INSTITUTE,

35 TAVISTOCK SQUARE,

LONDON. WC1H 9EZ

 

I wonder if there's any connection with the TAVISTOCK INSTITUTE in GEE STREET LONDON?

Oh yeah. When I worked as the UCL students' union printer, I used to have to take the post to the post room last thing sometimes. In those days, the body was in a glass box in the corner of two dark corridors and it would just catch your eye as you passed it in the shadows - seriously creepy. Apparently they used to wheel it out and put it at the head of the table for formal dinners - ewww!!
