On Thursday I had a real treat - taken out to lunch by two handsome young men (2 engineers aka Alan and his sister's partner James) in the top of the 'Gherkin' - one of London's relatively new architectural icons.See 30 St Mary Axe (Wikipedia) and BBC News article for more detailed information about the building.
The only people who can enter there are exclusive club members and staff who can also take visitors. James' firm has offices in the Gherkin so he qualifies to take visitors to lunch.
It was a real treat - the views were simply breathtaking and the food was good too! The building itself is an engineering marvel and the geometry superb in its simplicity. The photo gallery gives some idea. I don't think I need to go on the London Eye after this unique experience - thanks James and Alan!
