The Design Museum relocated from its former location near Tower Bridge to Kensington in 2016. It occupies the site of the former Commonwealth Institute, and retains some of the original architectural features such as the concrete saddle-shaped roof.
That's a great shot, I love the angle you have chosen. Long time since I visited and it was in the Tower Bridge location then. I have a picture of a line of E-Type Jags that were in there at the time (not sure where it is though!)
Interesting angles. I remember the building when it was the Commonwealth Institute and was always very fond of its quirkiness. I think I had a liking for postwar 20th century architecture even before it became more fashionable as things do over time. The Twentieth Century Society are not a fan of what the Design Museum have done with it apparently https://c20society.org.uk/lost-modern/commonwealth-institute-London
