An overlooked dome in London? Kennington is the only original building left from the first deep underground railway of 1890. Designed by T.P Figgis the dome housed hydraulic equipment for the lifts. It survived 1920s expansions unaltered and now is a wonderful piece of history & a listed building.

The most civilized nations are as close to barbarity as the most polished iron is close to rust. Nations, like metals, shine only on the surface.
