I had an email yesterday saying it was something to do with charity use.

Which road did you take the photos from? I don't know that part of the world too well.

I believe I read some where that they are being turned into offices.

Not sure if I believe this or not, but according to the London Rail group the stock that had been stored at Uxbridge is being turned into artists studios at Shoreditch! The question now is why?

I had to go to Liverpool Street today so I popped up and had a look at these two carriages, they don't half look weird in real life!

Well, you must know that artistic sort of people like to be in usual locations sometimes. It gives them Inspiration and a time to Reflect and Contemplate the essence of life, or something. Personally I don't understand this, but it might be quite fun perched up there!
