Living in London

London has very strict building codes designed to preserve the historic look of the city. For builders who want to tear down and rebuild out of date buildings, the challenges can be enormous.

This photo is of a building façade on Baker Street near the Baker Street Underground Station. It is an amazing sight to see only the façade and steeple of a building preserved while the entire supporting structure of the rest of the building has been removed. Eventually, a brand new building will be attached to the existing façade. Wow!

I have walked and ridden past this structure many times in the last few years. Today the light was good and I finally had a chance to take a decent picture.
