Boarded-up building, Shoreditch, London, 2025

Brick building with a concrete brick and window facade. The first floor features grates, as if for a semi-underground car park. All windows on the floor above are boarded up. Windows on the higher floors are not boarded up, but are largely graffitied.

Multistorey car fortress, Shoreditch, London, 2025

Various road traffic lights in the foreground, followed by a spring-green tree, then right in the centre of the image a narrow, graffitied multistorey carpark, with various glass London skyscrapers in the background.

Close up shot of graffitied multistorey carpark, taken at ground level. It fills almost the whole picture, with only a little bit of a skyscraper and the dark blue spring afternoon sky in the background.

Side of multistorey carpark, taken from ground level. The side of the concrete is made out of concrete panels, and the top part of it is graffitied. Below that, a rusty sign which reads: CAR PARK P_TRO_ - Meyers Bros Parking System. The rest of the image features the graffitied tiers and stairway of the car park, with the dark blue late afternoon sky in the background.

Courtesy of this Flickr comment thread, which incredibly includes the niece of one of the Meyers Bros referenced by the sign, the Meyers Bros Parking System was ramp-less, instead operated by lifts which brought the cars up and down the storeys of the car park.

London College of Fashion, Shoreditch, 2025

A building with a single square-ish mass, three storeys, and an additional smaller mass featuring a door and stairwall just out of shot to the right. The building is made out of London brick, with large thin-framed windows on the upper two storeys. The lower storey has windows, shutters, and graffiti. On the lower two storeys, the frontage is covered in large cream tiles, with a light-blue border around that and the front door.

New and old on Regent’s Canal, Islington, London, 2025

Sunny day on the Regent's Canal, taken from on the water. The foreground features a large, lush green tree. In the middle, there are some 19th century buildings, including a mill and cottage. In the background there is a 1960's mid-rise housing block, all set against a clear blue sky.

I’m not turning this blog into Riparian Delights, I promise. This counts as a Modernist Delight because the housing block in the back is Jessop Court, built 1969. Diespeker Wharf, a Victorian former timber mill & terrazzo and marble manufacturer, and an early 19th century wharf-keeper’s cottage.

Tiling detail at Moorgate station, London, 2025

A close up shot of small square tiles. They are primarily amber, and as they reflect in the light you can see the pattern embedded within them goes in different directions. There are also two bands of black tiles, one towards the top, and one at the very bottom.

Balconies of Wells House, Spa Green Estate, Clerkenwell, London, 2025

Ground level shot looking up at an 8 storey building, focusing on the balconies. These alternate with tiles at the sides and latticed fencing in the middle, and vice versa. The balconies are inset into the building and either side of them is a grid of clean, PVC windows.

Brunswick Centre in the sunset, London, 2025

A photo of the Brunswick Centre taken at a 45 degree angle. It is a concrete ziggurat-style structure, painted white, with small conservatory-like glass balconies on each floor. The sun is setting, and people are crossing the zebra crossing on front of the building.

A detail photo of the Brunswick Centre. It is a concrete structure painted white, ziggurat-style, about 6 stories. The photo shows a front-on view of 4 glass conservatories coming out the face of the building on each floor.

A detail photo of the Brunswick Centre, showing two concrete columns rising a few metres above the top storey of the building. They appear to be used for cooling, with vents in the top section of the column.

Retro signage in Islington, London, 2025

An aged sign above a shop with closed battered metal shutters. The background is cream and in various fonts it reads BEST FLIGHT - Travel Agency and Taste Byte offering Internet & Indian food, as well as other text. The sign has aluminium edging around it.

The Internet and Indian food — I would never need to leave.

Concrete ramp, London Euston station, 2025

A ramp with short sides made of concrete. In the sky, the sun is breaking through the clouds. There are trains either way of the ramp, as well as other central London buildings in the background.

As the train snaked its’ way through outer London, I thought to myself “how long until I find some concrete to photograph” – turns out, I only needed to wait until it pulled into Euston and I caught glimpse of this ramp, once used for British Rail’s Red Star Parcels service, in the moody summer sundown.

Former Co-operative, Southport, 2025

A 4 storey department store building with some touches of art deco style. On the corner, there is a round window with a staircase visible.
