City Futures
Clear blue skies over the futuristic architecture in this little section of The Square Mile certainly lend themselves towards creating a science-fiction-esque feel don't they!
The C305 Crossrail Project
What better way to spend a sunny Saturday than donning some PPE and heading 37 metres down under the streets of East London! Here's a preview of the Crossrail Project tunnel construction at Bow Creek.
St Clement’s Asylum
While en route to a studio shoot in the heart of East London I spotted that demolition of this disused asylum appeared imminent. Unfortunately by the time my fellow snapper and I got there and managed to gain relatively safe access, work had already begun. [...]
The Barbican Estate
Until recently I had always viewed Barbican’s brutalist architecture as a vast concrete eyesore only good as the setting for a low-budget zombie flick. That was before I spent a week shooting there and provided with a special key! Well, not that special as [...]
Photography is not a crime!
It’s been a while but got stopped by a security guard whilst taking a couple of shots of St Paul’s a few days ago. Having appeased him I found myself being followed surreptitiously by three more. I realise that these automatons are blindly following instruction [...]
Looking upwards!
A full six minutes early for a location recce in the city and no-one else has arrived. Plenty of great reflections round this neck of the woods.. so what better way to pass the time than to have a little look upwards!
The Maunsell Forts
What did I get up to on Saturday I hear you ask? Well, I spent it atop a derelict Second World War naval sea fort of course... where else! This place was by far one of the most unusual places I have explored to date. [...]
Piece of cake…
Here’s a wee butcher’s at our latest urbexpedition to a derelict manor west of London. Access to this grand place was rather more challenging than our previous explores but some blood and a little extra determination can go a long way!
UrbEx anyone? Don’t mind if I do!
What better way to spend a cold Sunday afternoon than exploring a disused art deco department store! It has certainly decayed severely since it’s incarnation as Scottleys in 1999, the filming location for “The Greatest Store in the World”. Having said that it’s former grandeur [...]
The Hoarder’s House
A recent visit to a secret location where vintage cars go to die. Real shame the cars had all been so badly vandalised by the time I managed to find this UrbEx hotspot!
