Was hoping that this might "weather in" but no!

I can see the following scenarios in the planning and delivery of this carbuncle.

1) The architect was on drugs
2) The whole architectural practice were on drugs
3) The council planning team were on drugs
4) The whole council was on drugs
5) There was a rush on at Staples for brown envelops during the whole process.

Difficult to make Sidcup (around the station) look more shit but mission accomplished.

Covered End

Looks like a worthy winner to me.

Im going back to the late 60s early 70s ,think most areas have changed for the worse ,not so much community spirit .im guessing more crime

I like the way you and Tavern have decorated your place

That Tescos has made that area even more moody at night, if that was possible.
