The Shock of the New
This is another series of my images, this time that show how Modern Architecture has inbedded itself with the more Traditional styles. Some successful, some not to my estimation. But we’re all different in our tastes, you may even like them yourselves.
30 St Mary Axe (AKA The Gherkin) , towers over St Andrew Undershaft church .
The church dates from 1532 , but there has been a church on this site since the 12th century
Architecture in London: One London Bridge
A very interesting building to look at but one that I find very difficult to photograph. It's quite hemmed in, angles are therefore tight, the pavement is also almost always busy as are the bus stops that have been (in)conveniently placed opposite and adjacent to the building and road. Still there you have it. And this is my latest take when it was getting much to late to photograph the building and the best light had faded. Voila!
Thanks for all views, comments and favs. They are always much appreciated.

Bloomsbury, London.
Detail of an elaborately styled Art Deco building, built in 1931 for Daimler cars to use as car hire garage. This structure has had several uses during its life. The curved section in my photo is above the entrance to the car ramp that spirals to upper floors.
The architects, Wallis, Gilbert and Partners, designed a number of art deco buildings throughout the UK, some of which, such as Perivale’s Hoover Building and the Victoria Coach Station, remain standing.
Photo taken in April 2025.

Architecture – Modern
This is a seventh series of buildings (some as photographed), glass panels, abstract shapes formed from buildings. Most are in London, although they could be any city. I have not named any building, nor have attempted to find Architects or Designers. I have just altered things to my own taste, nothing is sacrosanct, nothing lasts for ever, new ideas quickly become old as will these images be the moment I post them. Please enjoy.

The title is a bit of a cliché, but I guess that photographing this location is also a cliché. I seem to have posted a few in the last few weeks. But then, what is a cliché. I suppose it is a subject matter which was once novel, engaging, interesting, clever, witty etc. But because of all these attributes, it has become all pervasive and ubiquitous. So now I feel better about posting this. Okay, so I have missed the boat I terms of novelty by a good year or two. But, boy, this location is all that It ever was. So there you go. I may be late. But [another cliché I suppose], better late than never. A great location is a great location. Whether I have done it justice, well, that’s another matter…

Couple of hundred metres away from the Palace of Westminster is the 5 star Marriott Hotel, within what use to be County Hall.
The main six storey building was designed by Ralph Knott and opened in 1922 by King George V. The North and South blocks, which were built by Higgs and Hill, were added between 1936 and 1939. The Island block was not completed until 1974.[4]
For 64 years County Hall served as the headquarters of local government for London.

The Shock of the New
This is another series of images, Here I’m showing how Modern Architecture has embedded itself with the more Traditional Architectural styles. Some successful, some in my view not so. But we’re all different. You may like them. What It does tell you however, is that progress cannot be stopped. There are forces greater than you out there.
