Visited with Analepsis and Za Gringo.
After spending a pretty spectacular new years on the roof of NEO Bankside watching the South Bank fireworks, myself and Analepsis found ourselves at a loose end after everyone parted and went home.
Wondering around the Barbican and Finsbury Square for a few hours we eventually met up with Gringo with the intention of sneaking into the Old Street court house while the squatters were still sleeping, since we weren't sure if they'd be so welcoming, considering they had only just occupied the building. After climbing over the side gate we soon spotted the squatters; they were awake and all sitting up on the roof. So after climbing up and saying hello, we soon realised they had no problem with us being there and took us on a tour of the place.
Most of the smaller rooms had been turned into bedrooms, and there was even a family living in there, so my pictures will be limited to the entrance hall, court rooms and Police cells of the grade II listed building.
A quick note for future visitors: the squatters have now moved out, and security has moved back in.
Thanks for looking.
