English Heritage have published a lovely booklet detailing the buildings they listed in 2011. It's available as a PDF download here; London news website Snipe have helpfully put it online here.
Among the buildings to gain listing protection last year were some I've featured on this blog, including:
Lloyd's Building, City of London, recognised as 'the supreme icon of British‘Hi-Tech’ architecture'.- A very different financial structure, the 'Edwardian Baroque' former Prudential Building in Lewisham.
- The ramp at West Smithfield which formed part of the market's underground railway facilities.
- Various underground stations, including Wood Green.
- Various K6 telephone kiosks (not to be confused with the K2!).
There are lots more in the booklet, including some I'll definitely be seeking out. Do have a look and see if any of your own favourites are there!

As I recall, the outsides of K6s (and K2s) acted as magnets for K9s, and the insides (apparently despite the ventilating crowns) were used as meeting rooms for Smokers United !!
K9s indeed! You're right, they were rarely the most fragrant of places.
