POLL: What's Britain's best building?
London's Walkie Talkie has made headlines for all the wrong reasons, and as of today has officially been dubbed 'Britain's ugliest building'. Now we're not ones to point the finger at anyone's architecture (they're all welcome on Houzz) so we thought as we've found out the 'worst', why not try and see what the best buildings out there are?
We've compiled a (very) short list of some of Britain's most celebrated and beautiful bits of architecture, and we want to hear which you think takes the biscuit! This is by no means a full shortlist, but hopefully it will inspire you to share some of your favourites - just comment below!

- The Sainsbury Centre is an art gallery conceived as one single space, filled with light. At each end of the building, floor to ceiling windows open the space up to the surrounding landscape. It was built in 1978, and is an amazing building, still providing a wonderful experience.

Personally, I would like to see more contemporary examples: the Lloyds Building; Sainsburys in Camden, or my personal favourite, the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the UEA outside Norwich. A very peaceful, calm and relaxing space.
