Yes, so some of you may recall
the picture I took and posted right near the end of last year. During one of my weekend ramblings I came across it from a different angle and, camera in hand, discovered to my shock that it is abandoned! This is a beaufitful building right by the Thames at the absolute heart of one of the worlds most famous cities AND YET LOOK AT THIS.
It's boarded up! All the windows were like this too. I don't get it. My wanton dreams of avarice have been dashed against the craggy rocks of incongruity. Oh well! More pictures...
Soho...
Chinatown, where I saw some asiatic individuals who
might not have been from China. I was confused, but remained convinced of my own occidental superiority.

And now a bunch of purdy pictures with no particular caption.

Wow. That Chinatown kicks our Chinatown's ass.
Also, buy the building! If it's abandoned, it can't be all that expensive. I mean, you'd still have to be loaded nonetheless, but. Maybe when you get rich from making those movies? Those movies about the bears working in an office?
Well, to be fair to Ottawa's Chinatown the one in London is larger and older. Plus in that photo it was all gussied up for the Chinese New Years parade.
But yeah, I don't know that that building would ever come up for sale. Something I should have mentioned is that it is in a small, very specific area of the Enbankment neighborhod called Whitehall and it is government owned through and through.
Okay apparently I don't have the HTML skills to embed a link in this comment so go here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehall) to see what I mean
Bear One Imports will still be my magnus opus, though.
