Islington Fire Station, London, 2025

Modern brick fire station with five red-and-white garage doors, blue window frames, projecting blue-finished windows above, and vertical blue glass panels on the left. Two people walk outside on the pavement; a bare tree stands to the left of the entrance.

Designed by the Fire Brigade’s in-house architect, Peter J Smith, built in 1992. I would normally dislike many of its’ individual features (blue window frames? No, thank you), but as a whole it’s totally whimsical.

Woodstock Fire Station training tower, 2025

A three-storey beige brick fire station with a tall training tower stands behind a black metal fence. Several cars are parked outside. A red banner about on-call firefighters hangs on the fence. Trees and cloudy skies are visible in the background.

I haven’t quite worked out the GPS on my camera at the time I took this photo, so I’ve just spent a good half hour going through credit card receipts trying to find where I was that day 🤡
