Architecture has been a very popular theme for British stamps. The ten stamps in this issue celebrate excellence in contemporary UK architecture and engineering and feature some of the best buildings designed for public use. They range from the Olympic Aquatics Centre in London through parliamentary chambers to a dramatic project in an abandoned clay pit in Cornwall.
Our BLCS 5000 cover features an image of the Aquatics Centre in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London and bears a pictorial London E20 handstamp for the Olympic Park.
