I might go there now, if I could make myself be less lazy.

Fenella would like me to point out that it was she who recognised it.

Or as she put it "MMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ME ME ME ME ME"

Depends what interests you, Oliver. It's a local landmark for me, but that's because I'm a sucker for early modernist architecture and spend a lot of time going up and down the roads around it; it's just off a main road and architecturally interesting, so ticks similar boxes to Eamesy's Dirty House, though perhaps a little more unique making it easier to track down. I can only assume that the S/SE viewership aren't as keen as the East lot, or don't often explore their own turf. But hoefla's got it (hopefully), so it's not an entirely useless offering.

I was going to take a photo of the bike atop Canonbie Road, with the view over London as the backdrop, easier to guess and fun to force some other sucker to the top. That or the closed off tunnel in Dulwich wood (local landmark with the added benefit/challenge of being rather inaccessible by bike and not on street view). But the above has more significance to me personally than those alternatives, and having trekked all the way up to town for the last one, I'm the one that get's to choose.

(worried that sounds a bit dickhead-ish, not meant as such.)

In the time it's taken me to type that, a challenger has appeared!

It's 11.07- can I take a photo with a Volvo in front of the building?

argh. I can feel this one slipping out of my hands...

damnit Dammit.

Hmm, I think you might be able to rely on me being too lazy to go there now- going by car is cheating.

So if I get up early enough tomorrow to go there= you lose.

If I oversleep= you have tomorrow to get there.

oh! hai Fenella :)

Fenella says "ME ME ME ME MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OH HAI! ME ME ME ME"

:D

shall see what the situation is tomorrow evening then. oooh the anticipation...

I'd love it if you both got there at the same time..

No worries, Tom--I was just trying to stir it up a bit. :)

I think it's perfectly fine as a target, and people are clearly on it. I was just mindful of the long standstill that's happened in both the Cambridge and Brighton threads. It shouldn't be too difficult. As I don't know your building, I wasn't sure if it might be that. I took a couple of more difficult pictures before I settled on the familiar junction, just to make it a bit easier.

This looks familiar:

But where is this?

Clue: Grade II listed, 1930's, tennis anyone?

Ha. Nice.

Ooh. I know where that is.

I don't... but I feel like I should... hmm.

Oooh lovely mist.

You guys are such building nerds. I love this thread.

Can I just say to 6pt you fail for having a gap. The two pics must be in the same post, surely.

I will take part in this when the mood takes me.

Oh and Dammit fails for not posting the location of Tom's early modernist masterpiece.

thing is, from Lubetkin's Six Pillars, I thought -
"tennis? health centre? Finsbury Health Centre! Oh, no, it doesn't look like that..." (Lubetkin's 2nd most famous building)
"same mist... same area... Pioneer Health Centre! Oh, no, it doesn't look like that either..."

it's like having a word or name you can't quite remember... but I'll get there.
need to do some work now!

Bit more information here.

The building is called 6 Pillars and it is on Crescent Wood Road in Dulwich. 6pt will be along shortly to post a dorky ovation, I'm sure...

@spybot (your 2nd post has gone!) I am the "MMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ME ME ME ME ME" of above! Got a bit over-excited.

Wasn't thinking Lubetkin, doesn't look "clean" enough for him, isn't there a touch of deco to the entrance? Just make out the word "Grange" on the second pic.

Got it, thanks Google. Can't really make it there in the near future so I'll leave it hanging, brilliant thread.

Odd angle is because I was using the tree to block out the name which is, somewhat inconveniently, written on the front of the building.

This thread is fun.
