I include this picture only to show you how government can often be an ugly parasite, in this case architecturally. A modern monstrosity for the City of London has been grafted on to a rather older building on the right. And in front of that building is some newer facade. Completing the visiual chaos is a red striped tent in front. You can't see it without a close up, but on top of the facade is a mounted surveillance camera. That's not at all uncommon in London. But these is a nice visual convergence of...something.
