Last Things, The


Over the course of a year, photographer David Moore had unprecedented access to the most classified location under central London. This is the result. If you're hoping for some hi-tech mecca a la TV series 24, with great lighting and mirrored partitions, you'll be disappointed. Here, the rooms are as bland as Gordon Brown, with furniture by Ikea, dirty great fire doors and a medical facility from the 1950s. The most exciting thing is an emergency BBC transmitter in a steel case, and the coup de grace is the stockpile of Tesco Value dentistry products in a cupboard. Inspiring. Anyone caught down here will wish they'd ridden the apocalypse instead.
