This is Swan House roundabout viewed from above the Central Motorway which can be seen disappearing underneath Swan House. It emerges onto the world famous Tyne Bridge.
Swan house itself has had a varied past - formerly BritishTelecom HQ and the Australian Emigration Office, having gone it decline it was renovated and converted into luxury apartments and now houses Metro Radio and Linekers Bar.
If you venture below Swan House you will not only find a motorway but there is also a reconstructed Edwardian arcade which was the Royal arcade before the motorway was built.
