Is that copper roof on the Skylon Tower a recent addition? I've been there a few times and never noticed. It looks pretty sharp.
I used to hate 70's concrete buildings because they were out of fashion but my opinion has softened a lot. A lot of them are interesting and retro looking now. Many of them are somewhat hostile to pedestrians but that problem can often be solved without really compromising the tower portions.
As an aside, it's easy for me to see how people would have thought that buildings from, say, the 1930's were just old and boring in about 1960. We should always remember this and be sure to protect the best architectural heritage from only a few decades ago so that it's preserved long enough to become valuable again.

I'm not sure exactly where this was taken but it is similar to the view from the Woodside ferry terminal. Both of the ferries there have nice views, as does the Macdonald bridge when you walk over it. Hopefully there will soon be some higher resolution panoramas from these angles. I took some a few years ago but they're now quite out of date.
