Competition Time! - What is this?
I can't resist, I'm afraid. What do you suppose this stainless steel, glass topped building is for? London Daily Photo Postcard for the winner. Just guess, why not?
OK - now TWO prizes are up for grabs, the first to the right answer but as I am convinced that nobody will get that, another prize for the most creative guess!
(later) Well, I was wrong. Jing guessed correctly, well done! It's a sewage farm. Google Maps satellite view of it. On Sunday Mrs Ham & I cycled the Thames Path from London out to Dartford; when I saw this astonishing structure I had to take the picture. (Just be GLAD you can't smell it!!)
The "Try for the Creative answer" competiton is still running, I'll anounce the winner tomorrow.

post a commentMy guess is a "television studio". There are sections for drama, game shows and general entertainment; chimney is for burning the scripts that did not make it!
I'd say it was an incinerator. A new green type, that doesn't create so much pollution, which is why it only has a small chimney.
I thought an incinerator too, ideal for Livingstone's edicts!
Curly's Photoshop
well with all those delivery bays it looks like the head office of a news paper or media station.
A branch office of The Eden Project?
Ok the bit on the right looks like a commonwealth games baton where fire would come out the top, the roof looks like a ski jump, so I'll guess a sporting institute of some sort. Olympic games headquarters?
My daughter ( 8 ) thinks it might be an indoor playcentre, perhaps with trampolines or circus equipment!
It surely is a fire station, we have some of those in France !
an art school? anywaz, I think that's a cool looking structure.
whats this??
:P
Um...a factory? a museum? a incinerator? or a sewage farm??
I really don't have any ideas about it!
...so whats that,Ham ??
:D
...Jing
Well, well, well. Jing is right. It's a sewage farm. Google Maps satellite view of it.
A school for architects, perhaps burned out architects?!
:D
Just now I knew that I won the prize!!
thats amazing~~~I cant believe it!!
:D
Anyway, thx Ham !
I wrote back already~~~
hee hee, I am waiting...
...Jing
Excellent.. I'm glad it's sewage related as it reminded me a bit (though much classier) of the new Abbey Mills Sewage Pumping station down Hackney way.
The Cathedral of St. Swithin The Linearly Challenged?
Damn! I visited far too late. I knew this one as I used to work fairly near by.
So.. the second winner. Some good ideas, but I think that it has to go to Vancouver's "Televison Studio" because - after all - they both do the same thing, pushing out quantities of ****.
ems - Better luck next time! BTW..... wasn't Kidbrook School, was it?
No. My old boss is at Kidbrook though.
