Comments:
In Alexandra Palace, at the beginning of the First World War, German citizens and other countries (Austria, Hungary) who were in Britain were placed in isolation. This is in addition to being a refugee camp for citizens from Belgium.
Starting in 1915, the British also began imprisoning German prisoners of war

The sign is on the wall of the BBC tower Click for sign's details
