#shoreditch — Modernist Delights

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.
