Didn't need to walk for for this one.
I thought I had found a way in from looking at some drone footage but unfortunately when I arrived this was not the case.
Whilst poking around the back and side of the building I was greeted by onsite "security" who's first question was "are you the photographer?"
"no" I replied, to which he respoded "well that little side door there is open if you want to go in and have a look around, just close it up when you are done."
So in I went. Not a lot left inside, looks like it has been partially stripped and partially vandalised. A lot of rubish and evidence of the most recent ocupants, a furniature retailer. The origonal building was for an industrial chimney builders so there were a few traces of the old heavy industrial equipment.

Thats quite cool & a great bit of security blagging.
Who might have been "the photographer" he was expecting? Someone official? Decades ago I accompanied a Historic England (or similarly named organisation's) photographer on his visit to the Harrod's furniture repository by the Thames, near Barnes. He was using a full plate camera with black and white film to capture the pillared open spaces that had once held the treasured
household effects of the good and the great. The building has been kept for posterity, and made into flats. Magnificent views of the river.
