Lloyd's of London

Some of my first dabblings in the field of fine art black and white photography after doing a workshop in London last year.

The Lloyd's building (sometimes known as the Inside-Out Building) is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London. It is located on the former site of East India House in Lime Street, in London's main financial district, the City of London. The building is a leading example of radical Bowellism architecture in which the services for the building, such as ducts and lifts, are located on the exterior to maximise space in the interior. Twenty-five years after completion in 1986, the building received Grade I listing in 2011; it was the youngest structure ever to obtain this status. It is said by Historic England to be "universally recognised as one of the key buildings of the modern epoch".

I recently found myself 'Darn the Smoke', you know, Larndon, and had a spare hour to nip down to the financial district and point my camera at the sky. I used to work in London back in the 1970's before most of the skyscrapers had been built, and it was a very different place back then. Amongst the most interesting modern building is this one - Lloyds of London - always good to have another go at finding an interesting angle.

The Lloyds building ... London.
