Helipad and Hospital by andycoleborn

Helipad and Hospital

Just up the road from where I work is this 'monstrous carbuncle' as Prince Charles would no doubt put it. It's the new Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel and when completed, will be the UK's largest hospital.

It is indeed huge..And blue!!!

Oh, and it doesn't seem to have many windows! You can just see the helipad at the top of the middle tower.

Just uploading and watching Dispatches on Ch4 about fundamentalist Muslim groups moving into politics and taking over the local Labour party and Council in the Borough where I work... Hmmm interesting...!! Think I know what will be the topic of conversation in the office tomorrow....

Ooo.. just noticed a plane on it's way to Heathrow sneak into shot...
I think the building looks cool but that may just be the way you photographed it.

It has a real 60's feel to me, I don't know why. Since I LOVE blue, I am a fan.
Good luck with your politics... =)

Wow, Andy, this is jarringly austere compared to your other scenic shots! Good photo on your part...not so drawn to the architecture!

Very interesting photo and thoughts. The building reminds me of a pile of boxes. Nice blue though :)

I actually think this is lazy architecure.. Function over style I suppose... but agree... I like the blue :-)
