I don't think so. The original iteration with the food mart only opened in 1990.
Later, I moved jobs to Brunel House and I remember a colleague and I taking a look at the work proceeding each lunchtime, with me bemoaning the blue, all-glass look seeming to look worse and more cheap-looking than the original. The large atrium where the food mart was, that was once circular having an impressive cathedral look and feel about it being completely spoiled with half of it now squared-off to house the H&M unit.
Edit : Ignore me. I've got my dates completely wrong. The new design was completed in November 1999 apparently.
