Fanum House

Fanum House is the headquarters of The Automobile Association in Basingstoke in the English county of Hampshire. It is one of several AA buildings named \"Fanum House\" around the country. The original Headquarters in Leicester Square was also called Fanum House, 'Fanum' being the callsign of the AA.
The AA took advantage of 1960s government incentives to move from their London HQ to the rapidly expanding town of Basingstoke. The building was completed in 1970 and AA employees moved in at that point, and it was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1973. It is an 83 Meter, eighteen storey, building. It is clearly visible from the M3 motorway from some distance away. The name 'Fanum' is a Latin word for temple and was chosen to reflect the AA's status as the UK's premier motor breakdown company.
The Skyline Plaza development in the town centre replaces it as the tallest building in Basingstoke since it was extended from 61 meter to 85 meters with the addition of 3 floors in 2009.
The 17th floor was originally executive offices with its own bar, but is now the same layout as the other floors in the tower block.
