Hayward Gallery, Waterloo, SE1 (TWWSI)

One of the more recent subjects for 'TWWSI'. Unfortunately the Hayward Gallery is an ugly modernist concrete building, not one of my favourite locations. To make it worse I took these three days before the deadline & forgot to submit my choices! Doh!

Spitting image

This was taken in early 2007. I was in Paris with the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters' team, who were playing our good friends from the Belgian branch of the Paris Saint Germain Supporters' Club.
The chap on the left is one of our number, Hutty. (AKA One Eye; AKA Fidel)
On the right, plastered over all the billboards was Abbe Pierre, who died just before our visit!
