quote 23:07:05
“ I’m quite confident that London is too big and too anarchic to be seriously pasteurised by the games. It’s so big, so filthy, so nasty that it could probably eat twenty Olympiads for breakfast and spit out the Ferroconcrete bones. ”
Will Self: ‘The Olympics Suck’, an interview at Epigram, Bristol University’s Independent Student Newspaper.

NO301 site plan, North Greenwich.
This has been in my drafts folder for probably two years, so I have no idea where it was from originally. I just like maps, and lines, and black and white, and I’m rescuing it.
Edit: diamond geezer reminds me that it’s the planning application for a hotel by the Dome which is still not built. All the planning documents have gone (except, through the random chance that I liked it and saved it, this one).

Song Map, by Dorothy

It’s probably a bad sign that I can tell the places where that is the A-Z and the places where it deviates.

The red structure is the remains of the original Greathead shield used to tunnel the Waterloo & City. It was left in place in 1898 and rediscovered in 1987.

Nice tube geekery there.

quote 20:15:05
“ The appearance of the building has created what Travers calls a “new mental geography” of the capital. For example the presence of the Shard makes suddenly obvious what every London taxi driver already knew: that the quickest way from Westminster to the City is via the South Bank. ”
Tony Travers, director of the Greater London Group at the LSE, quoted in Robert Booth’s good overview of London’s Shard: a ‘tower of power and riches’ looking down on poverty in The Guardian. (Also covered: its role as a “soft power” play by the Qataris.)
