The Elephant and Castle ENGLISH theme pub! I bet they don't know what Elephant and Castle is actually like.

A red phone box. How English!

Can anyone identify this building? I think it's by Mies van der Rohe but I can't identify which one it is.

The Sears Tower seen from between two buildings. Notice the moon in this picture.

Some shiny building.
