Slough House is an administrative purgatory for MI5 service rejects who have seriously failed a task but not badly enough to get sacked.

Those assigned there are expected to endure dull, routine tasks, along with occasional verbal abuse from their miserable boss, Jackson Lamb, who anticipates that they will leave out of boredom or frustration.[3] Life in Slough House is defined by drudgery.
