Out on the tiles

A credit must go to my Flickr friend Bob French for directing me to this location on Waithman Street, EC4, which is in a tiny hidden away street very close to Blackfriars station. There is a building there where virtually an entire wall is tiled with these extraordinary patterns, almost 3d in effect. There are more than 20 panels like you see here, all of them decorated with different patterns. After some research I found out they were created by an artist named Rupert Spira nearly 30 years ago. An extraordinary location virtually in the heart of London which very few people have come across. More info and more images can be found here:
