Oh what a great version! I would definitely go to Hasenplatz and never be disappointed

Tiergarten, south-west of Hansaplatz Ubahn. Or along the edges of Tegel airport and up in the woods to the north of that. Plus Grünewald. They seem to like proximity to infrastructure

There was a campaign in Manchester to rename theirs as Mark E. Smith International Airport. Sadly never happened

Lol! Like mushrooms in a dank basement. Here's said pic of new ginormous server monstrosity behind Aphex Twin's roundabout legend. Didn't know it was a Faraday tribute!

Funnily enough an old friend from Clapham sent me a photo of Elephant 2.0 just the other day. Massive electronic storage device posing as a building? The German intelligence services HQ is the same, don't know if you went past it in Berlin.

I've never been to Dubai but it did suggest itself last time I was in Camden and overwhelmed by the number of twinkly lights & Maybachs surrounding a new gated community by the canal. Canning Town on the DLR reminded me of Gotham City.

Misread your comments oops. Sad that the power station surroundings suck so much.

L1 shiteness, that's fighting talk (never been to the Battersea branch, will give it a wide berth)

Excellent, thanks! My family used the term in the 80s. The earliest print reference I found was a 1987 article in The Independent on the terminal modernising versus Morning Star split within the CPGB: ‘Crudely put, it is the party “Euros” against the newspaper “tankies”.’

A gem! Thank you. The term was certainly used informally but rarely seen in print. I'd only found it in the 1980s. A number of interviewees use it in Phil Cohen's Children of the Revolution.
