» The Euston Arch Part 1 (London Reconnections)

Generally I am obsessed with development and fetishise modern architecture in its most brash, enormous and even egotistical forms. While I recognise that people like English Heritage have an important role (thank God someone saved St.Pancras), generally I often feel they can be harmful to living, forward moving, constantly changing urban environments. That said I deeply wish someone had managed to save the Euston Arch. What a dramatic and unmistakeable station entrance, characterful, massive and unqiue. Apparently it’s tucked away somewhere in pieces, although I suppose we shall have to wait for the second post to find out more.
