On 14th October 1940, Millstream House (close to the Rotherhithe Tunnel roundabout and next to Scout House) was partially destroyed by a bomb dropped from an aircraft during the World War Two Blitz.
When the building was rebuilt in 1947, a gargoyle from the Houses of Parliament was incorporated. A stone tablet at ground level commemorates this.
