What's your favourite bit of brutalist architecture?

Curious.
The Tower Hotel is pretty grim (as well as being expensive and pretty average inside, like many London hotels!)….but Tower Bridge is a totally magnificent structure.

Which London bridges do you prefer? I can’t think of many. It is always up in the top 5 (example here).

If you don’t like Victorian Gothic, are you also suggesting St Pancras Station isn’t one of the best in the Country, if not the world?!

I prefer pretty much any of the Thames bridges that actually look like bridges, not a bridge with a fairytale castle balanced on it like some kind of Neuschwanstein-on-Thames.

I don't like the houses of parliament either.

Sue me.

I had a bit part in this triumph. It must be awful, it won awards.
I had nothing to do with the concrete work.

I think this might be wannabe brutalist, but then they stuck some sexy curves in. I'm confused.
