Hill House, Blackfriars Road
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.

Prefabs on Milcote Street, SE1
There can't be many of these left now. They were built as emergency accommodation after World War 2 bombing destroyed a lot of the area's housing stock. Never intended to last more than a few years, they have proved more durable and more popular than the concrete tower blocks that followed them. A real accidental success story. One thing's for sure -- come back here in 10 year's time and you are unlikely still to see these.

Erlang House, Blackfriars Road
Office block built c1960, metal-framed windows set between thin concrete bands. In front of the recessed entrance stand prominently tapering pilotis.
At the time much of the space was available to rent by artists as studios, an initiative of a charity, Artists Studio Company. In a previous life, and in common with countless other office blocks, it was occupied by British Telecom.
