@benjojo @burnitdown These are amazing structures! I’ve never heard of them or seen them. Are they like the industrial conduits and pipes around petroleum producers in the US ?

@benjojo The ones over in King's Cross are being pretty well preserved, so I'll bet they stick around the longest. They _are_ cool!
