This comes out at Cardinal Place (corner of Bressenden Place / Victoria
St).


Is this the entrance by the building with the long drooping 'nose',
where Microsoft are, or at least were a few years ago when I last
visited them?


Apparently so.

Although Mr Google's maps have that as Cardinal Walk, with Cardinal
Place a block further NE.


My office,. in the 1960s, was on the first floor of a more
conventional building exactly where the drooping nose is now.
Wonderful street views from my windows on to Victoria Street and
Bressenden Place. Popular with office colleagues when a vip visitor
arrived at Victoria Station to be brought along Victoria Street with
escort and soldiers lining the route.
That dates me!
