I've just spotted this today. The wood panelled ceiling has been removed revealing a lantern roof in Boney's. Is that a recent change or did it come down when the temporary ticket office was removed?

I think it's quite a recent change. Your photo from 30/11/22, taken after the temporary ticket office was decommissioned, shows the ceiling still in place. |

The change leaves me with divided opinions. I liked the look of the wood panelled ceiling but the revealed glass roof also looks splendid. Environmentally, while the panelling keeps the heat in better, the glass allows for much less artificial lighting. I wonder what will be favoured?
Edit to correct sentence.

I went over to have a look at the ceiling at Bonaparte's today. Here's my photo:  So... what johnneyw saw was an optical illusion caused by reflections in the mirrored glass! It is really deceptive; you have to look through the right window to see it properly and even then there are some odd reflections. Very odd! |

I've just had a look at it again myself. From the side the optical illusion is convincing but a look through the window above the former main entrance shows the panels firmly in place (pictured below). Amazingly deceptive..... I'm not sure that a visit to Specsavers would have helped!

Work going on in former Bonaparte's..... actual work this time and not the johnneyw effect!
Plaster is coming off the lower walls and much of the floor tiling being removed.
I didn't dare look up at the ceiling!

That was happening when it was open. That is some serious work going on there, taking it all right back to the bear walls and floors |

You don't want them getting in the place. (I shall blame the recent Microsoft 365 outrage, rather than admit I was distracted by cake.) |
