The Daily Express Building
I took the opportunity of this last weekend's "Open House" to visit one of the most significant Art Deco sites in London, the old Daily Express building at 120 Fleet Street. Other bloggers went elsewhere, but for me, the lure of being able to see inside outweighed all else.
Are you wondering what you are looking at? It's the view of the staircase, not often photographed because of the delights in the hallway. I like it, though.

Incredibly interesting. Love the shades of gray. Lovely!!
Amazing shot. It's like something from a Busby Berkley film.
feels hipmotized (spelling?)..Love it!
Excellent shot!
Wonderful opportunity you had. I just love this capture. Fantastic.
We enjoyed a discussion about this in the exclusion room at lunchtime. I was on duty and asked the boys what they thought it was. They were amazed to learn the answer.
Beautiful.
When I saw that photo, I was lost, I didn't kçknow what was up and was down. Good perspective.

I guessed what it was but it was just a lucky guess. On my recent sightseeing vacation in England I took a lot of photos looking up and down stairways.
Whoops, I forgot to mention how much I like the picture. Has a very 'light at the end of the tunnel' feeling.
wow, so graphic. i love it.
Thanks, all. Youwould have all laughed if you had seen me taking it. Quite a few people did, and then they looked up.
Gail's man - yes, that was what I saw. You can't get away from the feeling that the whole foyer is a sound stage.
ems - sounds fun ;-)
Amazing photo... great building.
Move over Frank Lloyd Wright. I wonder if he got his idea for the Guggenheim standing right where you too that photo?
John, you made me scurry around and scan in my photo from the Guggenheim
Love it ! Great shot Ham.. something a bit abstract always makes me happy. Must do more of it myself. Thanks.
Hey ! A Psychotic stair we have here : PERFECT :-)
fantastic !
Wonderful, wonderful photo! Keep this one in your treasure vault, it's a little gem.
Well spotted, i love it!
