Urban exploration? Yes. The exploration of spaces that are urban? Yes. Urbex? Yes. Urb-loration? No, that’s not even close to being a word (although you’re banging down the right line there).

So we’ve mentioned it a few times in this introduction, that much is clear, but why are we devoting so much of our time to it when we could be out there on the swings, or buying an overpriced coffee from Prêt à Manger?

It’s cool, that’s why. Cool, in a really dangerous way, like the first kid at school to get a car or that older kid who brought alcohol and drugs to your friend’s house party.

To save you the commodities of time and effort, we’ve scoured the internet and tracked down the most vertigo-inducing photos that urban exploration has ever splurged upon the world. Mustang Wanted, the urban climber from Kiev, features heavily (see pictured).
