I believe the correct architectural term is "motherf****r".
one of the most moving buildings in all of london, forever in danger of demolition. like much of our brutalist heritage, this big girl suffers from not being loved by those responsible for her.
EDIT 1: for her bland replacement, look here: www.westminster.gov.uk/educationandlearning/schoolsandcol...
the loss of this building is a real tragedy - architecturally speaking - and london seems to have become an experiment in blind liberalism.
