Red-brick block of flats with white balconies and railings surround a large grassy courtyard. Some windows have satellite dishes. Trees and a cloudy sky are in the background, giving a suburban and tranquil atmosphere.

A brick archway labelled “Windermere House” connects two red-brick residential buildings. A narrow paved path and metal handrail run beneath the arch. A wooden shed and bins sit on the left. Green grass and trees are visible in the bright background.

Flying Angel House, Docklands, London, 2025

A tall red brick building with numerous grid-like windows, white trim, and two projecting white balconies. The sky above is cloudy, and a black railing and small green bushes are visible at ground level in front.

Opened in 1936 as The Missions to Seamen Institute, replacing an older Victorian building on East India Dock Road, as part of an Anglican organisation supporting seafarers. This hostel provided 150 bedrooms and related amenities, now in mixed commercial and residential use. The flying angel motif above the main entrance is of particular interest.

A modern barbershop with large glass windows and TOP FADE BARBERS signs above. Outdoor seating with tables and chairs is in front, along with a small decorative tree adorned with orange ornaments. The building has a brick façade and faces a quiet street.

All the best buildings have lampposts directly in front of them.

De Breyne Building, Keble College, Oxford, 2025

A tall, fortified-looking building made of yellow-brown brick, with multiple vertical columns and narrow, slit-like windows. The geometry is angular and brutalist. The sky above is cloudy, and a bicycle is parked at the far left.

A narrow, empty street curves alongside modern brick buildings with distinctive vertical buttresses. On the left, a stone wall with blooming white flowers and leafy trees contrasts with the architecture. The sky is mostly cloudy, and a white van is visible in the distance.

A rectangular metal vent with horizontal slats is set into a weathered brown brick wall. The vent is framed by a concrete border, and a white vertical line runs up the wall and across the vent, dividing the image symmetrically.

If I knew it was listed, I’d have attempted to take better photos. There’s some photos of the other side of the building on manchesterhistory.net.

London College of Fashion, Shoreditch, 2025

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.
