Today's weather made Plantation Place sparkle! Looked so much better in the flesh. The cladding on that one's superb:

And thought I'd throw this one in too

Everyone's favourite trio!

Although i have to reluctantly admit that Plantation Place does dampen the skyline ... (compared images to pre-plantation place days) ... i do find the massiveness of the building fascinating, and i am grateful that london can accomodate such diversity. Most skyscraper cities have 'skyscraper only' zones, which may look impressive, i think the mix is reflects more dynamism and responds to unique pressures...

Stunning building.

Cool. Thee church (?) is still there, and in this particular case one can see that quality buildings have been replaced with quality buildings.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see so many pre-war buildings in this pano, I expected to see more post-war shit, commie blocks etc.

Does anyone know what the large white building in the middle of this pic is?

El_Greco · February 28th, 2007, 05:20 PM
