Modern London.


Canery Wharf at night

With sky scrapers resembling the New York skyline is the new city of London rebuilt on the site of the old London Docklands, with Canary Wharf being the central part of the new city.

Prince Albert

Prince Albert on horse back with his hat being raised where in the background is the modern H. Q of Sainsbury's with its glass facade reflecting a modern Holborn Circus.

Thunderbirds rocket

Trafalgar Square on a lovely sunny summers day with kids playing in the fountains and Lord Nelson still on his column looking down, nothing unusual you may think even the red rocket appears quite normal, well its just to publicise the Thunderbirds film.

The traffic lights a work of contemporary art or a dangerous nonsense at the West ferry road roundabout Isle of dogs

Tate Modern

Tate Modern a good example of a recycled building once the Southbank Power Station, now a work of modern art!

St George's Wharf

St George's Wharf standing on the south side of Vauxhall bridge. With a circular design that is topped with a wind turbine that provides power for all the towers public lighting. something that has never been done in London before.

MI6

The MI6 building standing on the foot of Vauxhall bridge was designed by Terry Farrell. One of his earlier jobs being the ventilation towers for the Blackwall Tunnel in the 1960's. Farrell's other claim to fame in the 1980's was for the 'Post Modern' architecture of the TV-AM building in Camden Town. The MI6 building with its reinforced bomb proof walls, triple-glazed glass, with electronic jamming and a couple of moats is pure 1930's Art Deco architecture at its best.
