Millbank is an area of London, England, that is east of Pimlico and south of Westminster. The area derives its name from a mill house belonging to Westminster Abbey. By the 18th Century the area was dominated by a jail used in the deportation of other prisoners to the colonies. Millbank is a road on the north bank of the river. Many MPs' offices are based here. Before the 1997 General Election, the Labour Party took over two floors of the Millbank Tower as its headquarters. The 1 million per annum rent forced the party to vacate the tower in 2001 for 16 Old Queen Street. In British politics the term Millbank Machine or Millbank Tendency was used to refer to these who were regarded by some as spin doctors. Millbank Studios, an independent broadcast services company, is based in the area, opposite the Houses of Parliament. It is here many major broadcasters base their coverage of Westminster including the BBC, Sky News and ITV companies. BBC Parliament, a channel dedicated to Parliamentary and general political coverage is run by Millbank Studios on behalf of the BBC. The Tate Britain art gallery is also located near the river.
