I appreciate I may not be in the right area of expertise to ask this

for a while now. I've posed this question on several messageboards
/ newsgroups but have as yet failed to receive a response.

I'd be grateful for any information.

If you mean the chimney next to and south-east of the Royal Albert Hall,
I think it's from the hall's boiler room. A Google search produced a
reference to a chimney and a photo at
http://www.unseenlondon.dns2go.com/r...rt/roofext.htm , but the
site seems to be down at present.
