mr. smith lives in brunswick centre

The Sunday OM dedicated a report to Brunswick Centre, or the "Hanging Gardens of Babylon" if you don't mind using this euphemistic name for the building. I pass by this place almost every day to buy groceries, to Skoob to buy second-hand books, to Boots, or to the dodgy Chinese restaurant. Tickets sold at Renoir Cinema is extortionate, so I have only been there once. Sited just across from Russell Square tube station, this eyesore has become a part of my life. It's nice to see my neighborhood printed on paper, and that its residents will stage a three-day art show at the centre next month. Hopefully there will be a building facelift in the future.
