Commercial Union House in the sharp summer sunshine, London, 2025

A close up of 3 storeys of windows, with a little bit of the sky visible in the top right corner. The building itself is clad with different shades of brown tile. The windows span the width of the building at equal intervals, and are darkened. Behind them are dishevelled vertical blinds.

Show me a darkened window and I’ll be there.

Aldersgate Court, City of London, 2025

An angular brick 90's housing block. A dark shadow is cast across the rightmost side of it by taller buildings out of view.

This 90’s housing block is by no definition modernist, but the shadows cast in this narrow alleyway were impossible to resist.

Once-futuristic signage, London, 2025

A sign reading Zero Seven London Dental Practice set in a wide, bold sans serif font. The words Zero and Seven are separated with a colon and feature a thick solid border above and below. They are on one line, with the word London in a much smaller font, inset into the border underneath. Underneath that, it says Dental Practice and the phone number, in a larger font across 3 lines.

Bonus points if you recognise the building in the background.

Patrick Coman House, Finsbury Estate, Clerkenwell, London, 2025

A shot of a 9 storey housing estate building shot at an angle of about 30 degrees to the face of the building. Each storey is fronted by a rough textured concrete walkway, and at equal intervals ribbed balconies made of an opaque white material, possibly also concrete, curve outwards. Residents' satellite dishes cast shadows in the spring sun. In the foreground, a leafy tree covers most of the first set of balconies.

Entire societies have lived and died in the time I have prevaricated over whether to post this, but… I don’t know, something about this one just catches my eye.
