What was this building (London)?
MultiMap
It's 'under' the NT of International on the above link. Odd looking building two floors and then the next five or six are a pyramid shape. It's fenced off and looks pretty derelict.
Is there a reason why it's not been knocked down? I would have thought the land it's on would be worth a fair wedge.

The old county hall is the building along the riverside, the building in question is on the roundabout area at the bottom (just to the right of centre) of the picture. Was this something to do with County hall aswell?
