That last one looks like a silicone breast implant that’s become unanchored.

Harrod’s Villages - that’s ugly.

I think that Harrod’s Villages are much better than the others. Also there is quite an anti free market attitude in a lot of these remarks.

Tom Wolfe has been critical of architecture for some time; and rightly so.

These buildings are UGLY.

St. George Wharf looks like a bunch of owls.

I don’t see anything wrong with Harrods Village or M16 HQ.

MI6 Headquarters is also known as Legoland. Fittingly, it looks to me like a prison gone awry.

The GLA building looks like it “slipped” during construction and they just shored it up and continued.
