1) 15 years into the New South Africa, the second language on the walls of SA House is still Afrikaans. This includes the foot-high gilt-lettered SUID AFRIKA on the portico looking out onto Trafalgar Square.

2) In the foyer outside the Kinema they have antique riempie seats, but they've cheated by boarding up the space under the cross-work. Cheaters.
