least favourite building in Brighton

[bigc]

For me it's Vantage Point.

It is just a bizarre looking, shabby and unfit for purpose building. I worked there in the summer of 2004 when the Library was temporarily there, and I just don't see what was going through the mind of those who designed it(aside from hard drugs).

A close second is the new offering by Boots, the Sports Soccer massive warehouse style piece of crap.

I just cant stand the whole london road area,
from the king and queen to preston circus, the council have let the area fall to pieces, and now with the co-op and sainsburys gone, it is just ming

apart from Buffet Island and Grubbs of course!!

As for the worst builing, Hove Town Hall is pretty ugly

 

[Gwylan]

Mad John Catt's house?

 

[Man of Harveys]

The Kingswest, by far - a grotty attempt to want to emulate Blackpool, for some reason.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Too many to name. The Holiday Inn/West Pier Hotel is a modern tragedy; Anson House is a disgrace; New England House should be bombed; The Brighton Centre is another hideous creation; Hove Town Hall is despicable; That bar/club near Hove Lagoon (despite passing by it daily, I can't remember it's name - Babylon Lounge?) I can't choose.

That old bingo building near the Gloucester is a shambles, it's a long space which could easily be brought back to life as it's in a prime location.

The West Pier. Get rid of it now. Can't be that hard !!

Well said that man.

Churchill Square indoor shopping is too small, claustrophobic and unimaginative.

I find Vantage Point worse because it's just so weird...it's just long and thin. It's like a building version of Peter Crouch.

New England House at number one. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about it.

 

[Jimbo26]

Embassy Court on Hove seafront (if that is what it is still called). I lodged in there for month back in 1990. It is the pits inside and out. Shit hole !!

The old Granada cinema on Portland Rd and Anson House.
