We were taking a walk through South Kensington heading in the direction of Sloane Square. Our route included crossing the alignment of the District Line on the Tube. This line was built via the cut and cover method and there are some areas where they didn’t need to cover it again and it is open to the air. The road crossed in this area and the buildings along the road had been profiled to fit the space between the road and the track. The result was this building that tapered to basically nothing. I know that the Flatiron Building in New York is famous for its shape, but it is positively wide compared to this building!
