Tilted left or right

The problem is you have a keystone effect.

The best way to handle this is to use a tilt-shift/PC lens but you can try to replicate the effect in Lighroom using its perspective correction features.
 
They seem to tilt in opposite directions. Are you sure the lamppost itself isn't tilted? Seem plenty that started leaning, especially at busy junctions where they could have been hit by something.

But yeah you'll need to play with the lens corrections/keystone adjustments in your editing package.

I'd straighten the building and ignore the lamppost.
 
Tilt right to correct it, forget the lamp post.

Once the centre (corner) of the building is straight, you can perspective change the photo (vertical) to correct the lamp post, if you choose.
 
Thanks for the advice - i don't fancy a 100 mile trip to see if the lamp post was crooked after all.
It was my first time photographing large buildings and now i see the keystone effect as mentioned above, i will try to be more aware when doing it in the future.
