Made clear, Ed: wasn't trying to be exhaustive. But have also happy recollections of Durham Castle & Cathedral; Whitby Abbey; all those beautiful Georgian edifices in Edinburgh; Edinburgh Castle. Nearer home [just a few miles from where I sit, indeed], Ely Cathedral. Peterboro ditto.

And I am one of those who love the wonderfully OTT St Pancras Stn.

But there are so many beautiful, in different ways, buildings. How about we hear it for the wonderful 30 St Mary Axe ~ aka Swiss Re ~ aka The Gherkin? Always have a rise of spirit when coach from Cambridge to London carries me past that. And, waiting on Embankment to catch it home, can gaze across river to beautiful County Hall (1911-1939).
