Lesser Known London Landmarks No. 5 - A Miscellany









From top to bottom, the globe sculpture that decorates the Canada Post substation on Highbury Street, clearly related to the design aesthetic associated with the Unisphere at the 1964-1965 World Fair; a private residence at the corner of Baseline and Ridout streets; the Research and Development facility at the Labatt Brewery; the central headquarters facility for AboutTown Taxi, and a Print Three outlet (these last two are on York Street, just a few doors from one another).
