&gt; Apple will relocate more than 1,500 employees from offices around London to its new UK base inside the boiler house<p>But at least they get to shop at “Uniqlo, Mango, Superdry and Swatch”. The glamour of not working from home - boiler rooms and shopping at chain stores.

In the same vein, the crossness pumping station also has a beautiful interior. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;secretldn.com&#x2F;crossness-pumping-station&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;secretldn.com&#x2F;crossness-pumping-station&#x2F;</a>

If anybody is interested in old brick building architecture revitalisations I strongly recommend visiting warsaw. It has:<p>- Powiśle Power Plant [1]<p>- Koszyki Hall [2]<p>- Norblin Hall [3]<p>- Praga Koneser Center [4]<p>to name just a few. There are more to come. The grounds are not broken by prime ministers, since they’re much more of a common occurrence. It’s a really nice sight and they also usually combine office space with retail space and sometimes apartments. Worth checking out<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elektrowniapowisle.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;o-elektrowni&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elektrowniapowisle.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;o-elektrowni&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hala_Koszyki" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hala_Koszyki</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fabrykanorblina.pl&#x2F;en&#x2F;norblin-factory&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fabrykanorblina.pl&#x2F;en&#x2F;norblin-factory&#x2F;</a><p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Praga_Koneser_Center" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Praga_Koneser_Center</a>

&gt; <i>Control Room A, which has art deco flourishes and a herringbone parquet floor</i><p>If you&#x27;re going to build a power station, why not do it with some style, to paraphrase Doc Emmett Brown.

Where are the floating pigs? What kind of makeover is this?
