Clare and I went on an impromptu tour of London infrastructure today after unexpectedly ending up at Dishoom Canary Wharf due to a power cut at the Kensington branch.

A ten-minute walk from Canary Wharf took us to the Temple Of Storms (officially the Isle Of Dogs Pumping Station), a grade II* listed building constructed in 1988. While I’m not generally into postmodern architecture, it’s refreshing to see a modern industrial building that isn’t just a metal and concrete box.

A building with grey and brown brick walls supporting a black and white pediment with a huge white fan in the centre. Two thick red brick columns are topped with blue, yellow, and red fins. The building complexly dwarfs its normal-sized door.
