This gasholder dates back to the 1880s. It was bombed in both the second world war and in 1979, by the IRA, but it survived.
However the end is nigh for this gasholder. The authorities say it has to come down as the planned Silvertown Tunnel will run nearby underground. Campaigners have been trying to get it listed, but to no avail. So head to Greenwich soon if you want to see this example of Victorian engineering.
Not sure about the Bethnal Green gasometers? How about #anotherangle? This gorgeous shot by @maya_pixandmix gives us a new outlook on the gas holders as reflected in their home, Regents Canal. It's magical to see these majestic relics looking so much like a painting this way round.
The petition to save the gasometers is still ongoing - check the link in our bio for more information.
Amazing shaped roof of Coal Drops Yard.

Coal Drops yard at London Kingscross so worth a visit - it is just fabulous to see all the redevelopment there - the clever architecture, landscaping and planting design is just so inspiring - and having been to a talk by @coyotewillow at the @gardenmuseum last year and visited during construction - just fantastic to see! #coaldropsyard #kingscross #london #visitlondon #regentscanal #canal #landscapedesign #urbanregeneration #plantingdesign #architecture #construction #urbanplanning #heatherwickstudio #gasholder #kingcrosslock #seesaw
