I expect you'll find most have been converted to mosques

Try looking in the "other buildings" section on this site www.28dayslater.co.uk

There is an old hospital "Hartwood" on those site, i used to be able to see the towers from my old house.
It was a very interesting place. An old girlfriend trained up there, though she was a bit mental so it suited her to a tea

Weird hobbies are me I'm afraid. I work as an IT contractor, hobbies include, shooting, bushcraft, knife making and gadgets (typical bloke) and as a sidle line and hopefully soon to be full time, am a photographer.

That explained, a friend who since leaving a signed band is going solo possibly starting completely new band, wants a photoshoot done and a ruined church would be ideal.

One on Pentonville Road, 30 seconds walk from King's Cross.

I don't know its name, but its not in the best of health and is wedged between two more modern buildings.

You'd have to be careful dodging the used needles though

Some amazing buildings on that site just going to waste, such a shame.
I can see the interest in it..
I would have a mooch if I came across something but wouldn't go out looking for places..

I can imagine a nice suprize if slightly spooky find. I know it was when I found 7 grave stones in a wood on a walk (assuming the woodsmans dogs as the stones only had name and year on). Not the sort of thing I'd go looking for either specially, except in this instance.
