I have to agree Ally Pally gets my vote everytime. I spent a lot of time here as a child, and I spent a lot of time here with my child. We still spend time here together, even at 16 (him, not me) and I hope he spends time here with his children.

For me, it is the London skyline... I am reminded of this everytime I have a potential purchaser in the car (often from out of town) and the view of Alexandra Palace hits them. It's great for conversation, and it's great for the area.

I remember putting two pence pieces in the binocular machine thingy, admiring the view looking out, now i've grown up, I realise the 'real view' is what the rest of london sees. As the old saying nearly goes 'One persons view, is another persons viewpoint'.

Ally Pally – and the pre-war, BBC TV broadcast history – is now excised from our identity rebranding this week. Here's the new staff pin-badge.

By some, it's seen as hip, cool, fashionable … and by the same token, it'll be out-of-date in due course.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months
