    Question - Abandoned Theatres/Cinemas around Essex/London/Brighton?

    Hi all! So just getting into the whole urbex scene fairly recently and as a film fanatic would love to see some abandoned theatres/cinemas. Does anybody know of any in/around the London/Essex/Brighton area, as my group and I don't really have the time or facilities to travel too far. Thanks!!

    Report - The Camden Catacombs, London - February 2020

    Visited with @james nichols History: Every day, thousands of people walk the streets of Camden completely unaware of the 19th-century network of tunnels and vaults that lay beneath their feet, and with next to no surface features, this particular network has gone, for the most part, unnoticed...

    Report - Camden rat hole, November 2019

    This is my first post on the site, despite having used it for many years to check out buildings, so apologies if its a bit unpolished or if the photos arent the best quality. Having recently moved to London, and found some like-minded friends, I was eager to find some places nearby to explore...

    Report - St Thomas’s Hospital Medical School, Lambeth, London - January 2020 (Renovation Stage)

    The St Thomas's Hospital Medical School in Lambeth was founded in 1550, but underwent an extensive building programme between 1693 and 1709 where all of the hospital's wards were extended and over 300 more beds were added. It was also around this time that medical training was formalised at the...

    Report - Barbican Centre Car Park Utility Section, London - January 2020

    This is hardly the juiciest report I've done, in fact, I'm not sure it's actually worth a report, but either way, here it is. There's not actually a great deal to say regarding this location, but thought it might be worth putting up a couple of it. So, after a failed attempt at trying to access...

    Report - Kingsway Tram Tunnel, Holborn, London - January 2020

    The Kingsway Tram tunnel in Holborn, completed in 1906, only served as part of an active tram line until 1952, shortly before trams were removed from London's streets altogether. Over the years the tunnel has been repurposed several times and was even utilised in 2008 as a film set for "The...

    Report - The Madison, Canary Warf, London - December 2019

    "Finally at floor 27, we're halfway there mate!"... Oh what I would've given to fast forward up to floor 54... It had been an exceptionally lengthy evening in London, and despite successfully accessing all other locations that myself and @James Cross had planned, we simply couldn't resist...

    Report - 155 Bishopsgate, London - November 2019

    "I reckon that one's possible, my mate got 15 people up there recently!"... famous last words. The initial plan for the evening was to return to a rooftop in Whitechapel that my mate and I had recently accessed, but, after making it up to the 25th floor, we were quick to realise that the...

    Report - Draper House, Elephant and Castle - November 2019

    "Oh well, there's always plan B just down the road"... and plan B is exactly what we resorted to! After our initial target for the day didn't quite work out, we made the decision to give one of our backup locations a bash. That being a 25 story tower block...how spectacular! Constructed in...

    Report - Royal London Hospital Dentist School, London - November 2019

    I saw this place mentioned on the "Leads, Rumours..." board 4 years ago, but didn't hear anything more about it. So this week, when we failed to get into another location in London, we thought we'd give this place a quick look to see if it was possible. It look about 30 seconds to work out how...

    Report - Maydew House, Bermondsey - November 2019

    Another night spent upon one of London's many roofs...there's a turn-up! Maydew House is very typical of its time with it's 1960s brutalist architecture, and towering 255ft above Bermondsey, it's certainly become a prominent feature over the last 50 odd years. However, in 2011, Southwark...

    Report - Petticoat Tower, Aldgate, London - October 2019

    So here we were, standing 225ft above the capital on an exceptionally blustery night...what could possibly go wrong? Once at the top, what it lacks in height, it makes up for in uninterrupted views of the square mile... All in all, a cracking little mission.

    Report - Lauderdale Tower, Barbican Estate - August 2019

    4 teenagers + 400ft of concrete = fun times :)) After heading uptown one sunny afternoon with no particular intention, we thought we'd try the impossible...the almighty Barbican towers! I'd heard a lot from various members of the London rooftop scene about how difficult entry to the towers...

    Report - Millennium Mills - August 2019

    Background to the Explore This is my first post, so the report and the photography might look a bit newbie - but I'll get better, I promise! Since moving back to London from Sheffield, I can't climb cliffs on weekday evenings anymore, so I need a new hobby. I've been for an amateurish...

    Aunt violets house, London, August 2019

    Just another house, not much information on this place unfortunately. Wish I had some sort of history but I don’t.

    Report - The Towers, Hampstead Heath - June 2019

    History: There are 16 or so unoccupied and dilapidated mansions on The Bishops Avenue, worth as much as £350 million. The super-rich who own them, mainly from Saudi Arabia are confident that even if they leave the properties to rot they will still get a tremendous return on their investment when...
