This is probably the Mount Pleasant sorting office, which was in a former prison. See www.postalheritage.org.uk/exhibitions/mountpleasant/worki... which has photos that show similar lights.

I visited Mount Pleasant Sorting Office in 1978 or so to see the famous Post Office Underground railway in operation . It linked the main sorting offices with London train stations. In Victorian times it was a pneumatic train, driven by compressed air. In te 1970s it was electric . The post office was huge then too hundreds of sorting staff coming and going. Amazing place.

It is nice to see pictures from the other side. All to often we only see pictures of British/French/American troops.
