Our best this year was the Lansbury Lawrence School on Sunday morning which could - as of course could others - fit your description of your mystery property. Much enlivened by the presence of a man who was a pupil there in the early 1960s.A close second was the UCL Pearl building in Dagenham which was properly inspiring and so engagingly explained by the post-grad showing us round.

I certainly agree with one of your top visits as I work in that building (not the one you went to in 2021)

2008: I visited the Hoover Building sometime before when it was the HQ for the tobacco company Gallaher Group. It was nicotine walls, a nasty smell, and fags available in every room. As most offices had gone smoke-free before 2007 it was a surprise.
2013: Beckton Sewage Works - our visit came just after the annual shut-down for maintenance (it's probably always done in August) by which time the sewage had been stored and was considered 'especially ripe' according to the guide. Several people - making gagging motions - had to leave the main pressing room but I'm not sure what they were really expecting. Roses? |

We enjoyed Beckton Sewage Works one year on our wedding anniversary. Slight confusion when seeing the "Cake Room".

You got me there, for a second I thought you had worked at Broadcasting House!

You have got a bit confused with your links and dates DG. You visited Balfron in 2006 and 2014, and Trellick in 2012.

Also my thanks to a reader for pointing out a bad historical error in an 18 year-old post.

Thanks for the POSK tip - am going there for the tour this Sunday!
