Michelin House, South Kensington.

 

I was reading about this place the other day; it's a swanky restaurant now, but as you said about the other building better than demolition. I've taken to saying nunc est bibendum at 5pm on a Friday (I'm a bit of a prick).

 

The most incredible thing isn't the building itself, or the massive stained glass windows. The amazing thing about it is what a lazy fucker the cartoonist who 'designed' the Michelin man was.
