natwest tower
the view from an office
here is the view from the 5th floor on our brick lane office. i was based there for a year a while back but didn’t have a window seat. i don’t miss the commute either.
still, this view greeted me yesterday morning. you can clearly see the gherkin and natwest tower (as transversed earlier this week)
Tower 42
i got to go to a meeting up Tower 42 this week (also known as the Natwest Tower)
the conference room is only half way up the tower and you can only look out one side, but it was still very impressive.
i took plenty of photos of course. click on the pictures below to get the full sized version (which are very big) and do your own exploring:
the thames, bank, tate modern, westminster in the background
st paul’s, BT tower in the distance
barbican and a couple of other new tall buildings
another view of westminster
it was a rainy day anyway, but by the time we stopped the meeting for coffee it got very rainy
it kind of made me think about what london might have been like in the smog. without the london eye of course
