Mixed use development in Romford, 2024

Notice the tiling detail!

A three-story brick building with two small balconies and turquoise tiles above a central entrance. On the ground floor are a carpet shop with a purple sign and a closed blue shutter. Two cars are parked on the street in front. The sky is overcast.

Salvation Army church, Romford, 2024

A modern church building with tall concrete columns and a cross on top is next to a brick structure with large windows. A Salvation Army sign hangs above the entrance. A flagpole stands in front, and the sky is overcast.

Another thing I love: a rotunda, and even more so: a concrete rotunda.

A concrete beauty in Romford, 2024

A three-story building with shops at street level, including “One Source Training Centre,” “Lorel,” and “The Wow Centre.” The upper floors have balconies and windows. A bench and bare trees line the pavement. The sky is overcast.

Barbican Estate, London, 2024

A view from beneath a concrete overhang frames a Brutalist-style building with balconies. Several people walk near parked vans and a red Royal Mail truck. Trees with autumn leaves and a cloudy sky are in the background.

Moorgate Station to Liverpool Street Station tunnel, London, 2024

A long, tiled underground tunnel with curved walls and ceiling, illuminated by bright overhead lights. Three people walk along the tunnel, two heading away and one towards the camera. The scene has a symmetrical, futuristic appearance.

I thought CityMapper was sending me walkies round London for no reason but it was just trying to show me a very long, very repetitive pedestrian tunnel, DUH 🤦🏼‍♂️ And I’m so thankful for that!
