Which lost British building do you most wish was still standing today?

Originally built for the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park before being relocated to Sydenham, this vast iron-and-glass marvel was destroyed by fire in 1936. Its loss still defines the south London skyline.

Taller than Wren's replacement and a centrepiece of medieval London, the original St Paul's was consumed in the Great Fire. Imagine its gothic spire still piercing the City skyline.

This grand Greek-revival propylaeum welcomed travellers to Euston Station for over a century before being needlessly torn down. Its destruction galvanised the British conservation movement.

Built to outshine every palace in Europe, Nonsuch was ornately decorated with stucco panels and gilded carvings. Charles II gave it to a mistress who promptly demolished it to pay her gambling debts.

The original St Michael's Cathedral was reduced to a shell during the Coventry Blitz. Its ruins remain beside Basil Spence's modern replacement as a moving symbol of reconciliation.
