Having participated in the Photo24 Challenge recently, myself & Tim Scott decided another trip into London would be a great idea. This time I only took my little Sony RX100 mk3 & iPhone with me as the thought of carrying my Canon 5d mk4 & associated lenses in 30 degree heat for the day was just too much. Ultimately, this was the right decision & whilst at times the image quality & ability to get certain shots that the Canon would have given me proved frustrating the small bag & weight far outweighed this. We arrived in London at 10.15am & headed straight to The Barbican for some brutal architecture shots, then made our way across London taking in various sites along the way, ending up in Brick Lane for a curry at 7.30pm.

Once described by Prince Charles as 'like a nuclear power station', the fantastic (in my opinion) layered concrete National Theatre.
Designed by Sir Denys Lasdun, and completed in 1976, the Grade II* listed site is probably London's best known Brutalist building.
Two of the ugliest buildings in America reside in Portland. brutalism architecture is only good as a canvas for graffiti.

High above the courtyard, there was a glimpse of this handsome Victorian cupola. In the sun and against the blue sky, it was a sparking white and a nice contrast with the creamy bricks of the chimney stacks. I was tempted to add colour but decided this would be unwise. It was nice to see some sash windows and down pipes surviving amidst the pretty brutal architecture in the foreground.

Lasdun first proposed this style of accommodation for Cambridge. He intended that a student should be able to get from bed to a class in five minutes.
"The rear of the blocks is concealed below the walkways, with car parking and bicycle racks. To the front, the stepped section made possible rooms that have a high part facing the countryside and a low part to the rear, making the stairs slightly less steep, with only 12 steps between each floor, but the inner parts of the rooms consequently very low."
