Your favorite landmark in the UK

[Fungus]

Southwick power station. A great landmark, you were never lost if you could see it.

I think you have OBVIOUSLY forgotton the big one:

There is a division FOUR "stadium" right outside it too, which obviously we will never get the chance to play at again.

...which also applies when you are heading south!!!

Haha, I suppose so like.

Not quite the same mind.

First choice landmark is-
Lullington Church
The Smallest Church in Sussex-
Enough parking for two cars and seating for around 12.
Only service is evensong- 3.00 pm on last Sunday of the month.

Second choice is Resident Records- Kensington Gardens. Not really a landmark as its a shop but its the best Independent Record Store in the country.Fact!

love seeing her in action when heading north to an away game - particularly on the line that passes next to it

I feel the same about the Twin Towers of Luton/Dunstable: always a real landmark sighting on the M1

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Long distance views of which have of course be marred by the Shard which completely unbalances London's skyline.

I get the train every day at London Bridge - directly udnerneath the Shard, but never seen this angle - you don;t appreciate it's size from beneath. There was a story in the papers the other day that there is apparently a protected view from primrose hill which has now been ruined, by the very vista you have posted.

I'd quite happily spend a week in Dale Winton.

Amex.

talking of ednas tower blocks hollingdean from tenantry down/warren road. only looking straight down bear road do you get the view of their full height.

I like the Skyscraper City website, nerdy perhaps but good for a look at projects from past, present and future. There's a whole thread on there about tower blocks, featuring loads of photos from various urban horrors. Evidently there is a section of the architectural community that gets all misty eyed about them (I'm talking the classic 1960s genre, as featured above)

Angel of the North for me.

Even if the Americans couldn't understand her accent.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Got to be this for me. Any news bulletin, anywhere in the world, that wants to illustrate that a story relates to London, or even the UK as a whole, tends to use Big Ben or the Palace of Westminster. It's an absolute work of art IMHO, doesn't matter how many times I go to London, I still love it and it still has the power to make me go "wow". It's iconic and beautiful (regardless of the pillocks who occupy it most of the time).

This is a brilliant website for rants about architecture by the way, hasn't been updated in years but the existing ones are still good.

Bad British Architecture

Speaking of landmarks, I just googled "white cliffs of Dover", and these were two of the images that came up, captioned as Dover with all the accompanying fluff about bluebirds and Vera Lynn. Now I could be wrong here, as I am no cliff-expert, but aren't these in fact the white cliffs of, er, Eastbourne? All seven of them?

rochdale town hall - so good that if the nazi's won the war, hitler wanted it rebuilt in germany

I was WELL impressed with that, wasted on Rochdale
