Croydon - a strangely interesting place! Had the pleasure of spending many hours at Lunar House in Croydon on Saturday. During the brief hour when I could leave the building I went for a wander searching food but I got distracted by the architecture of the area. Really fascinating! Maybe the winter sunshine and cold harsh light helped but the various building looked so crisp. The space age influences to Lunar and Apollo house - Love the louvres and the angled base to the building making it look a little like a lunar lander. Lot's of stilts and cantilevers (?).
What does all this mean? I'm not educated in architecture at all so my descriptions may be lacking but I found the area fascinating. Weirdly I'd like to ride down there and try some photography.
The only real info I found on the are is this:

Anyone else, or is it just me that is weird for liking Croydon?
