| Architecture To Go |
 |

Sure, she can get you down sometimes - all the unrelenting rain, the head-bowed charging and barging from fellow Londoners - but then, when you take a quiet moment and a long look out across the river from Waterloo Bridge, even with all the hideous cranes and insidious grey, London sure is perty.

This year's London Festival of Architecture has been like a slap in the face to those of us who forget this sometimes. It has reminded us to look up, and more than that, without all the infernal skyline-scarring cranes, it has provided us with a wealth of temporary architectural gems.
As the festival wraps up this weekend, like a giant treasure hunt, or a walk in a vast urban park, here's our pick of what to catch before they disappear back into their boxes.
