The derelict Spillers' Millennium Mills next to Royal Victoria Dock, London.

This former flour mill has been abandoned for may years. It has featured in many films and music videos. Even the Smiths made a music video which shows just how long it has been abandoned. I'd been waiting for a sufficiently grey day to photograph it to capture its bleakness.
