Hill House, Blackfriars Road
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 14 Aug 2011
A substantial 1960s office block. The lettering looks original. The end wall is faced in subtly-varied coloured panels. For at least the last two years it has lain empty and boarded up, and one imagines that eventually it will be pulled down. This stretch of Blackfriars Road is strange - bitty, incoherent and oddly quiet given its proximity to both Elephant and Castle, and the South Bank.
