The Albert, 52 Victoria Street, London. built in 1862 and named after Queen Victoria’s husband, the Prince Consort, the pub has survived the Blitz and 1960’s redevelopment remaining virtually in its original form and stands today in stark contrast to the modern skyscrapers that loom menacingly over it. November 2012.

Great shot of the old and the new. Have to say, that I prefer the old as opposed to the new. There’s something about the character of old buildings that new just don’t have.
Couldn’t agree with you more. I think that is really brought out in monochrome.
Glad you like the shot and thank you for your comment!
