Post your images of stairs and staircases here. Credit the source if the photo isn't yours. At least include location and add other details if you can.
Been to see the stair exhibition at the V & A

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

Another from the vast staircase archive... These move but aren't turned on. They access the unused Jubilee Line platform at Charing Cross Underground Station. #Underground #staircase #London #CharingCross

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

Arguably my favourite staircase. A Sir Denys Lasdun masterpiece in London's Hayward Gallery. #brutalism #brutalist #stairs #staircase #London #Architecture

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

Today we have a rather grand staircase (one of many) at Hampton Court Palace.

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

Stair of the day from my archives (x2)... Both at Two Temple Place in London. Commissioned by and built for William Waldorf Astor in the 1890's and now run by a charity. #stairs #staircase #architecture #London
