An impenetrable fortress, one with no time for the doubters and naysayers. Protected by many hotels, embassies and the rich.
It wasn't going to be easy

The first, and last time I will ever attempt a pano this big at night. A total
of 7 hours shooting, 42 spent rendering and 18 editing, its finally done!

So here we are, back in the UK. With nothing on the cards for Europe its time to catch up on the backlog, starting with the London Olympic Stadium ..
 
 

 

Since Snappel was in town we decided it would be rude not to meet up. Most trips we have are always fun and full of "interesting" events, so when I got the call there was no way I was going to say no. Our target for the night was yet another Middlesex hospital. Previously explored by Itinerant child I gave him a call once outside and it turns out he had just payed a return visit. Just missed him oh well, we waited for the right moment then went for it through our entrance and into the building. I hadnt seen many pictures of the site before appart from the mortuary which had to be done. We knew security does patrols every now and then so we decided to head straight to the roof.

A low level fog was covering most of london, you might have seen it in the papers it was that bad, bad it gave a really eerie feel as only the most promonent buildings were visible such as centre point and the BT tower. After several photos and a few of Snappels "Fu** whats that lets get out of here now" moments we headed back into the top floors which held the operating theatres

There wasnt too much here, a few lights but the majority had asbestos screens covering them so we left them alone. At the end of the coridoor we came to the main staircase. Green and while tiles paved the walls downwards and large windows let the moonlight in. As we progressed further down we found it was more and more stripped so we gave up and headed to find the mortuary.

It took a surprisingly long time to find and several phone calls due to the sheer maze that is the basement and ground levels, but it was worth it. The Chapel of Rest was one of the best features ive seen to date. It looked like a crypt with carved woodwork on the ceiling and the walls and in the center a large wooden box where the body would have been placed. Next door was the infamous fat boy slab it was huge and could easily accomodate the fattest of people.

Time was getting on so we took a few more pictures and then headed on towards our next destination.
