I quite liked the incongruity of the light 
That’s just my OCD Guy 
Where is it? That exact skyline was featured in the episode of Slow Horses I was watching last night.
The Barbican, I think?

Yes. The real world address of Slough House is ~200 yards from where that was taken.

I used to visit Jimmy Hughes (reviewer) there but he lived in a ground floor level apartment with a large semicircular window looking over the courtyard/garden. I never really saw the profile of the tower blocks as it was usually in the evening. Would sometimes see Clive James waiting to be picked up by a car & whisked off somewhere. It did seem a cool place to live.

Some people always go too far:
The bold new studio maintains every aspect of the heritage-listed structure within the internal living spaces, including the rotting timber, dead ivy and old birds’ nests.
Seriously, get that shite to fuck.

No big speakers. What is the point? A keen vacuum cleaner artist could ruin the decor.

History hiding in plain sight . . .
Abandoned bridge, the last remaining section of the old Middle Road that connected Toronto to Hamilton. Built in 1909 it was the first concrete truss bridge in Canada and the second in North America. It was largely used for agricultural traffic and could only handle one lane of traffic when automobile travel became common. The Middle Road was replaced by the Queen Elizabeth Way in the 1930s.
Stone abutments from a previous bridge.
Deck has recently been resurfaced, it still serves a a pedestrian bridge on a walking/cycling trail
Poking around in the surrounding woods still reveals some remains of the residential neighborhood that once existed in the area. It was abandoned and the housing demolished after the 1954 Hurricane Hazel flood that saw massive damage and several deaths.
