EuroTripping – London Modern Architecture

We visited London for some days while on our European road trip this past summer and I thoroughly enjoyed both the old and storied as well as the more current and new sights that were on offer.

Here are images I took of some of the modern architecture we came across while in London.

A parking structure near King’s Cross
The building known as the “The Walkie Talkie”
Sharp angles on a building near Regent’s Canal
Lots of reflective surfaces in the City of London
Curves in Leicester Square
Sculpted edges on a corner of Limestreet
A cute, red elevator rides up the side of the former Camden Town Hall Annexe
Modern greets the old inside King’s Cross
Towering apartment house Goodsyard in Shoreditch
A small splash of color adorns a modern structure near Paddington Station
A color I think of more suiting the desert southwest of my homeland (the US) than along Regent’s Canal in London
More tones of red grace the facade of a structure near Covent Garden
Modern, circular apartments sit inside the old Gassholders structures
A sort of stylised honeycomb wraps up The Broadway at The Orchard
Unusual windows bring light into the old turbine hall at the Tate Modern
Black and white inside the gallery White Cube
Brick, brick and a bench outside the Tate Modern
A corridor in the labyrinthine Barbican Centre
Looking slightly down at Tower 42 from The Lookout on the 50th floor of 8 Bishopsgate
An alternative view of the Fenchurch Building (Walkie-Talkie)
30 St Mary Axe, fondly referred to as The Gherkin

I am a photography enthusiast living in Oslo, Norway. My favourite subjects tend to be landscapes and nature - but I enjoy photographing urban scenes, architecture, abstract shapes and street images as well. Welcome!
