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.

Awning in central London, 2025

Apologies to whose modern, city, child-killing SUV I drunkenly backed my ass into but once I saw the ruined awning and business name tiled into the floor I simply had to get a picture.

A brick building with two upper windows and a blue plaque between them. Below is a blue awning reading BLOOMSBURY BUILDING SUPPLIES above a closed blue roller shutter. To the left is a blue door numbered 39. The tiled pavement spells out BLOOMSBURY SUPPLIES.

Modern and old in London, 2023

I’m not fact checking this so I’m leaving the gates open for somebody to tell me the church is in fact newer than the towers.

A historic stone church with a red brick steeple stands by a canal, surrounded by leafless trees. Modern, tall concrete buildings loom in the background under a cloudy, gray sky, creating a contrast of old and new architecture.

Back office in Romford, 2024

A glass-walled security booth juts out over a dim passageway. The booth sits above ground, supported by concrete, with fluorescent lights and a sign inside. The area below is shadowy, with tile and textured concrete walls and ceilings.

A decrepit room inside a weird structure over an foul-smelling tunnel in Romford, East London. One thing you had to be there to experience was the sight of a framed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II visible through the windows.
