UK - London - Lloyds of London 11_mono_DSC2896
It could do with a bit of a clean but considering it's now 30 years old the Richard Rogers designed Lloyds of London building still looks rather spritely.
I'm also reminded somewhat ironically that given the buildings whole 'raison d'être' was that it was flexible and could be easily reconfigured and extended to the best of my knowledge it's remained exactly as it was constructed......

From Wikipedia : "It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. Bovis was the management contractor for the scheme. Like the Pompidou Centre (designed by Renzo Piano and Rogers), the building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. The twelve glass lifts were the first of their kind in the UK."
