Returning fromĀ another location and giving up on numerous en route, feeling tired and cold we decided to stop at a rumor of air raid shelters.
Odeon Cinema
After quite possibly the longest and most frustrating wait, I finally managed to access what’s been at the top of my exploration list for quite some years now!

Passing this place a fair few times in the past and never stopping to take a look, we decided to stop by for a quick mooch after finishing another explore slightly earlier than expected.
Bollywood Dreams Indian Restaurant
Driving past this place for as long as I can remember and has been on the list of places to explore for just as long, the opportunity finally arose when I spotted new fencing erected around the site. Rumour has it that the place is going to reopen as another restaurant.
Dukes Genesis Nightclub
Without even realizing this place had shut down in 2012 and with the odd few hazy memories from back in my college days, I woke up to a tip off that this place was now accessible. Gathering every detail I could and messaging the usual local explorers, myself and Tiny Urban Exploration were at the site the very same day.

Churchgate Hotel

Interesting explore this “local” one was, I was amazed to find majority of the furniture and appliances still stored inside! Unfortunately our visit was cut short after setting the alarms off one too many times, so not many picture… not that anyone actually arrived, however we thought we had pushed our luck a little too much already.
Crofthorse House
Having driven past this place for literally as long as I can remember and each time noticed how derelict it was becoming, the opportunity finally arouse to explore along with Tiny Urban Exploration.

Not much to say here really… it’s a pig farm!
