OK. I'm not panicking but the above is true for my early 60's flat. Discovered when investigating sound leakage from flats above and below, I can push coat hanger wire vertically into the gaps where the ceiling/floor meet the bedrooms external wall a good 10 inches, this pretty much reaches into the flat below and the flat above. Am assuming that this is by accident and not design, and that the block isn't about to collapse. Block is steel/concrete, built in 1962, externally faced with brick and internal walls aren't plastered, it's almost like the external wal has pulled away, either that or the floors/ceilings have shrunk (obviously I'm no construction expert). I've yet to investigate if the same is true where the interior walls meet my floors & ceilings, shall report back...
I'm sure that professional advice is my first and only option here. My question really is whether this is actually treatable? I'm certain that expanding foam isn't where this is headed, in order to stop conversations floating into our bedroom from other (bed)rooms it needs something more substantial (!)

Thanks in advance, Steve
