Some calculations about age/background (spoilers involved)(some of this plus pulled right from the wiki)
SO! I went down a rabbit hole last night because I’m playing the sims and decided to make the Magnus Institute, and, being me, I wanted to try and make the architecture accurate.
Of course, I could have just gone for late 19th century/early 20th century architecture, but I went into the various wikis and reddit threads and found that there is, in fact, a building that Jonny references as an inspiration for the Institute.
Namely, this:
This building is referenced as 42 Millbank, and now owned by the Chelsea College of Arts. Except when you search either one of those, you get different buildings!
What is pictured above is actually 45 Millbank. It’s now used as an event/conference center, and is indeed owned by the College of Arts. Once I knew that, I was able to find these pictures of the interior:

But the thing is, I really wanted floorplans. At which point I did some more digging and found some archival records by the lovely people at Friends of Millbank, which explained that 45 Millbank was built as the Royal Army Medical College. There are lots of interesting articles on their site, including primary sources, through which I found this:
ArchiveCon is immensely happy to host these two amazing voice actors for The Magnus Protocol’s Alice Dyer and Gwen Bouchard. We’ll be hosting a Q & A session, featuring your questions!

“My name is Billie Lauren Hindle and I am the VA for Alice Dyer in The Magnus Protocol. I’m a Northern English gal and I use she/her pronouns. I am super excited to attend Archive Con as I have absolutely loved interacting with the fanbase who have been so welcoming since I joined the Magnus universe.

I starred in the fantastic feature film "Secrets of a Wallaby Boy”, the hit play “Henry’s End” and have more film and voice roles in the pipeline this year and next!“

She studied at the University of Oxford and ALRA North, and has spent the last few years working on a variety of projects within the realms of theatre, film, and audio drama. Anusia can currently be heard as Gwendolyn Bouchard in The Magnus Protocol, the follow-up series to the show from Rusty Quill that started it all.
