London I - Senate House Rooftop and Battersea Power Station

It was on Thursday whilst chilling on a local rooftop that fishbrain mentioned his plan of paying London another visit. My last trip there had seen a rather large number of failures and I still hadn't seen the city from above. As such this wasn't gonna be a difficult decision, I was gonna join him. Less than 24 hrs later and we topped out onto the roof of the Senate House.

German Drains! 924 and Trinity

Whilst the usual urbex shizzle is as popular in Germany as it is in any other country, I have not yet heard of anyone who does drains here.
