A ski jump in central London

OK, I'm lying. Before leaving Vauxhall I had to show you one of the more bizzare pieces of London architecture. This is not a ski jump for a giant but a bus station. This is the design. Why??
For reference, the Elephant and Castle from yesterday is directly behind this.

post a commentIt;s really a rocket launcher secretly disguised as a bus station.
hey, i have the same thought as gail's man..hahah,its more like a missile laucher ..
wonderful structure I must say!
It is a bus launcher. If the Victoria Line and Vauxhall Bridge are out, just launch the buses over the Thames. Look for the landing ramp at Pimlico Station.
Anon - LOL!It could almost be aimed at MI5.....
Only in England! Are you sure it's not a ski jump though? ;)
LOL...
Really really unique bus station.
Like a missile launcher??
Like a ski jump ??
hee hee...
Um...a unfinished way to the out space~~
Fuuny structure!!No one worry about that "jump" would fall down when standing under it???
:D
kidding~~~
...Jing
Heh, heh, like the bus launcher idea. :)
It is really quite bizarre.
Beneath the ski ramp is what appears to be the world's largest caravan. Que pasa? Were substances involved?
Looks like it woud be more fun as a ski jump!
