Spare us a squeaky-clean metropolis

For some of us, dilapidation and decay are part of the glory of a city. There's something powerfully affecting about Victorian ruins; forgotten tunnels; sagging jetties; and all those half-hidden squalid nooks where the past rots away in a haze of graffiti and litter and chance-seeded foliage and the scars of arson and vandalism, a stone's throw from busy urban life.

And could it be better captured than it is by Derelict London?
