St. Giles, London

To me there is still a palpable sense of despair and despondency about the St. Giles area. I don't know whether  this is because I have read a little about the wretchedness of the area in the past or if something more sinister remains.  The garishly painted Renzo Piano office blocks at Central St. Giles do little to dispel the bleakness that permeates on a cold winter's day.
