A snatched shot from a moving Overground train; Shoreditch Town Hall to the left. When I lived in the East End in the 1980s, this line (out of the former Broad Street station) had been closed a couple of years before and was already looking dilapidated; its current shiny new state would have seemed a pipedream then.
