Not the best image but there were people who insisted on getting in the way of the others. Crossness Pumping Station. It became a Grade I listed building in 1970 and will remain on the Heritage at Risk Register until the restoration is completed. #Crossness #London #bazalgette #Architecture

I do love a staircase and there are not many better than this one in London's Hayward Gallery. #Brutalist #Brutalism #Stairs #SouthBank

Was lucky to get a big private tour of the old London Underground HQ, an art deco gem by Charles Holden, at 55 Broadway recently. Here's one of it's staircases. Bonus was photographing The Brutal(ist) Ministry Justice Building from the roof. #ArtDeco #brutalism #brutalist #architecture #London

Today's staircase from the vault is not the most exciting but I can't skop them for that reason. These, appearing to go nowhere, at at National Trust Polesden Lacey. #NationalTrust #stairs #staircase

Staircase leading to kitchen from dining room which is for hire by residents. This is in the now developed (and ruined) Balfron Tower and I am sure Erno Goldfinger would be turning in his grave. #brutalism #brutalist #architecture #Goldfinger #London #socialHousing

Steps to London Bridge on the Borough Market side. Apparently these are the only part of the original bridge that remains after it was dismantled and moved to America. #stairs #staircase #LondonBridge #London

Another staircase, this time in the Bush Theatre in, unsurprisingly, Shepherds Bush. #stairs #staircase #London #architecture
