If
you’ve never
heard the term ‘urban
exploration’
before you could
do worse than start
here.
The
Power Station at
Battersea
It's
the
one building we can’t
get into. Here are
the owners.
There’s a flashy
‘tour’
to take. Otherwise
fairly pointless.

into urban art for
while, having graduated

Subterranea
Britannica
Subterranea
Britannica are hardcore
Brit urban explorers
– which
seem to mean going
underground, and
mostly into the WW2
and
Cold War secret states.
They are obsessed.
Take care, it could
be catching.

else who shares our
obsession, then.

for example.

Derelict London
...snapshots of the Capital's urban decaying beauty-
graffiti,buildings,waterways,cemeteries,people,murals,pubs,vehicles,disused
tube stations...
The Hospital
We don't know what this lot are on, but if you want to explore a crumbling
hospital without leaving your pc... Takes a while to load, you need sound,
and there's more to explore than you think there is. Enjoy.
Mis-Guide
They say: "The Mis-Guide offers a model by which residents explore
the urban space, choose their role, take the opportunity to ‘drift’.
Rather than directing anyone where to go and what to see, the Mis-Guide
explores ways of seeking cities within cities that no one has found yet;
a forged passport to an 'other' city and a hyper-sensitised way of
travelling the familiar one."
Sub-urban
Sub-urban are urban explorers from South East England. Check out the hospitals/asylums and the recent trip through Manchester drains.
