brutalist ladder

A concrete ladder! If only there were such a thing. Fans of Brutalism (like me!) could spend many happy hours climbing up and down it, marvelling at the harshness of its rough aggregate surface.

 

In fact this is a rather more run-of-the-mill set of concrete steps, shot from above. I rotated the image 90 degrees to the right. So it's a bit of a cheat. Sorry.

 

The stairs provide pedestrian access from Bastion Highwalk on London Wall down to the road leading into Bastion House's lower service level.
