The brutalist Welbeck Street Car Park in Central London. Built in the early 1970's.
Note dated 7 March 2017. This building is sadly due to close on 13 March 2017. It's fate is unknown. Many people, including me, are hoping that it will not be demolished.
Update April 2019: This building is, sadly, currently in the process of being demolished.
An attempt at different and more dynamic image of the much photographed, greatly loved, but soon to be demolished, iconic Welbeck Street Car Park in London.
Architect: Michael R Blampied & Partners - 1971
Update April 2019: This building has now been demolished.
Please ignore any anomalies. Do not fixate on the windows. No time [or patience] to rectify. Just a glorious distraction trying to get a graphic novel feel.
Thanks for all views, comments and favs. They are always much appreciated.

A secluded garden, in a bombed out gothic church, in the heart of London. A favourite haunt of mine.

I never get bored of shooting Tower Bridge.
It's look can vary from minute to minute; the bridge, the ambient light, reflections on the Thames, the skies...so many excuses to take another shot!

An alternate angle on this Canary Wharf Station entrance hall. This has a slightly more pleasing symmetry compared to the oblique perspective of the other shot.
I'm not sure quite why I'm drawn to this so much, but possibly it's because this is so difference in style and tone to any other tube station. It's kind of imposing and inscrutable ...
7 More London
7 More London is the final and largest building to be constructed under the masterplan for the More London site. The 10 storey, 60 000 building incorporates 48 000m of office space located above ground floor retail units. Construction of the building’s shell is complete; its glazed, symmetrical wings of offices open out to embrace the river revealing a hollow circular drum, housing the reception, at its core. Three curved bridges connect these two wings at levels two, five and eight, while at the rear the building’s southern elevation drops to seven storeys to respect the existing buildings along Tooley Street. Inside work is underway to fit out the offices ready for the building’s 6000 occupants, which will have moved in to their new home by May 2011.
More London is a development on the south bank of the River Thames, immediately south-west of Tower Bridge in London. The southern exit is on Tooley Street.
I know I've posted several shots of this view before, but this is the widest angle view I've taken so far. This is with the Fuji 10-24mm lens at 10mm (15mm equivalent) hand-held.
I did plan to take an ultra-wide shot of the newsroom with the X-E2, but there were people sitting too near to my intended vantage point, and I felt rather inhibited taking pictures right next to where people are working!
So this shot of the outside is a poor consolation prize after that failure to assert my photographic presence ...
Formerly known as Space House, built in 1966, the architects were R Seifert & Partners. This is 1 Kemble Street, Holborn, London.
'Two New Ludgate'. Detail of new office building opposite the Old Bailey in the city of London. Architects: Sauerbruch Hutton, 2015.
The tranquility of this long exposure shot of Tower Bridge slightly belies the moderate chaos going on behind me as there were hundreds of people out on the steps and lawn next to the City Hall building, smoking, drinking and blaring out tinny music from bluetooth speakers!
Just goes to show you the way in which photographs are only half the story ...

A little shot of the current developments around the St George Wharf area at Vauxhall. Slowly but surely the landscape is filling up with new towers month by month ...

Shortly to be demolished. Finchley, North London - July 2014 (Photo taken on my iPhone)
Update: This building was eventually demolished in October 2015.
Came to the Millennium Bridge with my good buddy Carlos. We thought that we’d get some arty long expo shots of people walking over the bridge. Shame they came out looking like mud. Reckon that the exposures were too long. You live and learn.
It was a tad sunny for classic B&W LE but we had a go and here is one of my efforts. I now wish that I had moved more to the left.
Thanks for all your comments, views and likes. They are all appreciated.

The same place as previously only a few days later. My friend and I were in the area getting pizzas and beers, the light was pretty cool however, so I decided to get a photo.

The 36th floor of 20 Fenchurch Street (the Sky Garden), in the Walkie Talkie building. The sunset was amazing.
Another shot from outside the front door of the Beeb, just as I was leaving the building earlier.
I just really liked the light that we had this evening, with the warm glow on the Bath stone of the church contrasted with the grey moodiness of the sky behind ...
The view you see here is from the pedestrian tunnel leading under Westminster Bridge, looking out towards Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Given light contrast I am happy how this has come out. I have seen this view a number of times here on Flickr and wished to capture it myself. Ticked off the list!

Another angle on this brutalist classic, rendered with the 48Mp main camera of the iPhone 14 Pro ...
Cheapside is the name of the street below, which once upon a time was described as "the busiest thoroughfare in the world", nowdays its lined by pretty dull offices, although theres still some gems to be found there. Like, for instance, St Mary-le-Bow church, in the foreground, designed by Wren and built in 1671-1673, with the spire added in 1680. Beyond we can see the City towers - Heron, T42, Swiss-Re, Leadenhall, Lloyds, Willis, and 20 Fenchurch. Still further we can see Isle of Dogs.
