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.

Havering Council Appointment Centre in Romford, 2024

A three-story brown brick building with “APPOINTMENT CENTRE” over the entrance, glass doors, several windows, and balconies. Trees with autumn leaves and green foliage are in front. The sky is cloudy and the area is paved with a ramp and railings.

The surprisingly attractive Havering Council Appointment Centre (?) in Romford, East London. The PVC windows don’t do much for me, but the dark brick is pleasing and the graduated floors above the main door are a nice detail.

Angel Way car park, Romford, 2024

A multi-story concrete parking garage with a dark brick stairwell stands on a quiet, empty street. There are signs on the building, parked cars at the right, and trees with sparse leaves on both sides. The sky is overcast and gray.
A grey concrete multi-storey car park with open floors stands above the Romford Auction Rooms shop, which displays furniture and goods outside. Bunting hangs above the shop. A leafless tree and a one-way street sign are visible in the foreground.
A multi-story concrete parking garage with red railings, open sides, and multiple empty parking spaces in front. A single blue car is parked on the left. The sky is overcast, and the building has a utilitarian, weathered appearance.

It has all the mod-cons a car park needs:

  • Season tickets available
  • Business parking available
  • “Video surveillance”
  • Faded red detailing
