RE: Tales of the Urban Explorer: Prudential Assurance Buildings

Every time I read these posts I can't help myself mourning these old buildings. It has had its own Gringots charm when it was still a bank, and as we simply cant build anything but concrete horrors these days it will be a loss when they are torn down. Just look at America where everything is regularly destroyed and replaced with something cheaper and uglier. Compared to Germany and Japan where so much was eradicated by bombardments, the US still shines as the ugliest place on Earth... at least when it comes to the cities.

Ouch, the US peeps are not going to like that much! I have noticed they are enamoured by all our old creaky stuff here and history. It always did amuse me.

Germany still has lovely architecture, and very different from the UK. I have a soft spot for that country, which is more related to the food and the beer.

I have yet to visit Denmark so could not comment on your place. Maybe one day.
