The Brown & Root Tower in Colliers Wood (or the Big Black Building as it’s commonly known in our house) was voted the ugliest building in London in a 2006 BBC poll and one of the 12 ugliest in the UK in a 2005 Channel 4 poll for its programme ‘Demolition’. Over the years I have become rather fond of this monstrosity. Good job I suppose, as I can see it from my back garden and bedroom window!
