Cinema or gasholder?

I remember the evening I took this photograph. We had left St Thomas' Hospital in London and were walking to the Tube line that we needed. I hadn't thought we'd come upon the British Film Institute IMAX cinema. I had never seen its illuminated exterior before, but once seen I saw the potential for a shot or two. I posted what I considered to be my best shot on my PhotoReflect blog of the time: the one above is the second best. Looking at it again as I prepared it for posting it occurred to me that the cinema has the look of an illuminated gasholder, right down to the lattice-work supports.
