Flats upright and flat
Perhaps not quite flat, but not standing. The pile in the foreground is the ruins of Digby Court, one of the five towers of the Willoughby Street Estate. These are being demolished piecemeal, to be replaced by a mixture of houses and flats. Behind are Abbey Court and Newgate Court.

Royal Naval Association Club (formerly The Happy Return)
It is fairly rare to find a closed pub returned to something like its original use. This used to be an estate pub, The Happy Return, built as part of the Willoughby Street re-development of the mid-1960s (much of which has already disappeared). The other pub from that era, the 17th/21st Lancers is now a Tesco. The Happy Return closed in December 2009.
