As i live in London, bad weather comes with the territory. Eventually, after the twelfth consecutive day of rain, you just give up, resorting to other forms of troll like entertainment, computers perhaps? Thankfully the British weather system occasionally run out of steam, and that’s when you strike.

Power stations are somewhat of a delicacy when it comes to exploring, if you get the timing right the rewards that can be claimed from each untapped giant are endless. Lots Road was one such power station, sitting proud on the edge of the Chelsea Creek it had never before been accessed, a variety of cameras, high walls, razor wire and active security patrols thwarting all efforts from above. But what about below.

London Park Hotel, my god how many times has this cropped up over time. Well finally today after two years of recces, attempts and theories, its been done! Its a bit of a shame to be honest as in all fairness we were two weeks too late. In the central courtyard a huge pile of debris from each of the floor had just been thrown out the nearest window. Beds, fittings, baths, radiators, rails, everything that would have made up the hotel. Our own fault shouldnt have forgotten about it so many times.

Was in a very bored mood and having been here a few months ago i thought it would be good to go back to my local, get some photos and explore the rest, neither of us were expecting what we found.

Being in England, clear night skies are a gift rarely bestowed upon us by the gods. So when one does roll along you’d be a fool not to snap up the chance to do something. Since we’ve already visited a large majority of the “good” towers in London, we decided to go back to the Bishopsgate development. Since the last time we visited was over a year ago the building had come along way. Only one final crane remained all the main construction work had been finished and they look almost ready to decorate.

Crypt always baffled me. With my knowledge at the time of discovery, its design and construction confused and astounded me. At the basic level, it was a simple overflow turning two sewers into one. For this simple function, it seemed extremely over-engineered. Vaulted archways, brick walls curving and skewing in all direction, a photographers wet dream, Victorian engineering at its best, hidden out of sight within the London sewage system.
