Anbody now of any good locations in London for Architectural photography?
would be great if you could recommen some places. :love:
 
Hi Sam, Stick a pin in the map of central London and go! There is always something to photograph, wherever you go. Some places such as the South Bank from Tower Bridge to Westminster Bridge have a wealth of Architectural landmarks, on both sides of the river. The City has fantastic old and new buildings. Picadilly, Soho, Covent Garden, St Pancreas Station. I guess it depends on what specifics you are after? Rob
 
St Pancreas Station is a must, the roof is nothing short of spectacular.
 
Just try and look like you're a tourist if your photographing inside stations, this is one of the prime areas for being picked up as a potential terrorist :thumbsdown:

They didn’t seem to mind me walking in at about 1am with a couple of pedestal fans to take pictures for an “Art Project”.

I was actually just really drunk at the time. I happened to have my cam on me and the fans we found abandoned in the street. :)

The Hoover Factory-Perivale - what sort of architecture are you into? Modern, old?
 
English Heritage produce some excellent architectural guidebooks which would give you inspiration.
 
architecture covers many generations and styles
the modern ones i can remember were the city bank tower blocks
canary wharf

old of course is relatively more widespread
st pauls
the law courts
etc

the list is very long but if you want to 'expand' your 'london'
hampton court palace

:plusone: for the Hoover building.

Theres always the Lloyds building, battersea power station, city hall. Regent street with it's curves. The O2 arena looks good at night from across the water when lit.

@mrcrow - Gillete corner :thumbs: takes me back to when I lived in london and theres the new Glaxo Smith Kline building a shortish distance from there.
 
the inside of the glaxo building is very nice too, it's pretty difficult to get in their though (they're clients of ours)
 
How about this? Great architecture.

So true. takes me back to being very young going round syon park :lol:
 
You can go pretty much anywhere in central London and be confronted with interesting architecture, quite often very very old right next to very modern. Personally I'd just throw a dart at a tube map and go for a wander, unless you just want the usual tourist snaps album :)
 
NHM is about the only thing I would visit London again for.Must go at some stage.
