Apparently this giant pink hatstand is a Guinness World Record installation, at 4.6m tall with 40 hats.
It's currently in Leadenhall Market - beautiful Victorian architecture meets an explosion of pink!

The Finsbury Bank for Savings was a historic 19th-century penny-savings bank located at 18½ Sekforde Street in Clerkenwell.

It was founded around 1812–1816 to serve small tradesmen, labourers, mechanics, and servants with a minimum deposit of one shilling.

These are former bacon stoves in Smokehouse Yard, just behind St John Street.

The Grade II listing records: "Bacon smokehouse, 1877 by Charles Bell for ER Parker, provisions merchant. Converted to offices in the late C20."

The following picture shows the inside of the power station with the original Victorian/Edwardian brickwork in the background.
The third picture is one of the boreholes and the final picture is the upclose shot of the plastic chimney explained in #LondonPics 85 - look back for that fascinating story

This unassuming building on Charterhouse Street was erected in 1914 and it served as an expanded cold storage facility and offices for the Port of London Authority, holding food and meat goods arriving from the Thames docks before distribution to Smithfield Market.

This is Holborn Bars - the former Prudential Assurance Company Building built in the late 1800s. Prudential moved out in 1999 but still seems to own it.

It was designed in Gothic Revival style by architects Alfred Waterhouse and his son Paul, and built by Holland, Hannen & Cubitts

I always say to look up for signs of London's past.
Above my favourite silver and jewellery supply store on Greville Street, Bellore Rashbel, is a large clay pot sliced vertically in half and affixed flat against the brickwork.

There is something wrong with this picture. Honestly its not that good. #canarywharf #londonpics #atreetphotography

Always worth looking up in London.
This is a floral art installation in Slingsby Place near Covent Garden. On particularly sunny days, it fills the ground beneath it in coloured light

Two pictures in Poplar.
The first is the Balfron Tower on the Brownfield Estate.
Designed by Ernő Goldfinger and completed in 1967 as social housing (although no longer all social housing).

I always loved this view from Clerkenwell Road.
- 18th century: St Paul's Cathedral completed
- 19th century: Farringdon Underground station opened
- early 20th century: chimney from the Citigen power station at Smithfield
- 21st century: Shard complete
But more than it seems....

The iconic mock-Tudor hut in the centre of Soho Square Gardens was built in 1925 as an architectural disguise for an underground electricity substation.
It's now Grade II listed.

This bench is in the Lloyd's Register Building before the Chairman's Office.

It was designed by the sculptor Frank Lynn Jenkins who designed the sweeping bronze frieze on the first-floor landing and the sculpture "The Spirit of British Maritime Commerce" at the top of the staircase.

This is the clock tower at Hampton Court Palace featuring a magnificent 16th century astronomical clock.

The clock was installed in 1540 on the gatehouse to the inner court and it is still functioning - albeit with parts replaced.

These two photos really don't do justice to the gem that is St Mary le Strand. It's stunning in detail and scale.

The original church building was demolished in 1549 to make way for Somerset House. The new church was consecrated in 1724.
