Indeed. The address of the old office was kept

and just taken a long time to submit it to the court and not
thought to check it was still true. There has been a phone number
available for years, though.
Might I also offer that "kept quiet" does
not negate "offered up to
anyone who phoned up and asked for it." In reality, it was simply not
publicized; but it was generally fairly easy to get.
Still, making any attempt to be secretive about where the office was
(which even included deleting pictures from Commons that showed what
the building looked like) was a really silly thing for an
organization based around free exchange of information to do, and was
rightly ridiculed by critics such as the WR crowd.
