That other tower in Croydon is worse. It makes me feel physically sick to look at it. Here it is in the Telegraph's list of the ugliest buildings: telegraph.co.uk |

+1 for Gloucester Bus station. For quite a few years I worked in the offices on top of the multi-storey car park alongside. I *had* to concentrate on my work as the view from the window offered no distraction at all. I propose The Tower, Meridian Quay at Swansea Marina. aspaceinthecity.co.uk Totally out of scale and unsympathetic to the rest of the area, and has caused the road along the bottom to become a dreadful wind tunnel, but hey! it's apparently the tallest building in Wales so that's all that matters. Talk about my willy's bigger than yours syndrome ![]() |

Preston bus station was the original subject of an ongoing prank that me and a friend have kept going for more than 30 years. The recent renovation has smartened it up somewhat.

Do you know what, I actually like most of those buildings in the Telegraph list. The worst are The Westfield rectangle and the bizarre St Georges Wharf

St George's Wharf looks like a series of angry owls

Cumbernauld. There are some beautiful places nearby such as the Glen, and the Spirit of something statue, but the town itself. What were its designers on?

Blaenau Ffestiniog, surrounded by beauty, but the town itself is a run down ex mining town.

Close up, Saffron Square isn't too bad. It probably looks a lot worse from a distance. My workplace often has people saying, "What's that red building over there?"

Mersey Ferry terminal, Pier Head, Liverpool. Little straight thinking amongst the straightjacket of ill-defined lines. confidentials.com |
