This looks like it might be a highrise office block in the heart of the City but actually it's the Royal London Hospital in the East End.
I liked the optical illusion this shot creates as it's not clear whether this is an internal or external corner.....
This was taken during last Octobers London Flickr Group Photowalk around Whitechapel and Aldgate. Our next photowalk is planned for Saturday 15th March, more info here if you're interested in coming along : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...

From Wikipedia, "In March 2005 planning permission was granted for the redevelopment and expansion of The Royal London Hospital. The scheme was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2006. Sited on the grounds of the existing hospital, the works involved the replacement of certain of the hospital's old facilities, some of which dated back to when the hospital moved to its existing site in 1757. The works also involved the creation of a new trauma and emergency care centre and substantial new renal and paediatric facilities. These works, which were designed by HOK and undertaken by Skanska at a cost of £650 million, opened in part in 2012 and were completed in 2016. The old hospital buildings were converted into the new Tower Hamlets Town Hall for Tower Hamlets Council between 2019 and 2023."
