A Conversation for World's Most Beautiful Buildings
A church, a tube station and a library

Go to Oxford Circus tube. An unlikely starting place, for sure. Walk north, up Regent Street. The road turns into Langham Place, and on the right-hand side of the road is All Soul's church, designed by John Nash in 17-something. It's so starkly geometric that it almost looks modern, and it's very beautiful.
Westminster tube station, the jubilee section, is my current favourite tube station. It's like being in the movie Starship Troopers. Real quality.
I also like the way the reading room at the Great Court of the British Museum has been done. You walk in there, the view is so wide; it is like your eyes have just got cinemascope.
