The arch cut into the base of the Green Dale Oak was reported to be wide enough for a coach to pass through.

Welbeck Street Car Park is going to be demolished soon. Brutalist masterpiece will be replaced by a hotel. 

The car park became a favourite of many fans of brutal architecture and the recent announcement stirred emotions. There’s even a petition to stop the demolition.

I’ve decided to make an illustrated print of it, so it can stay in people’s mind (and on their walls).

You can buy the poster (and other London architecture posters) here:
