The only thing which those of a nervous disposition might find disconcerting is the planes taking off from City Airport which appear to be flying straight towards the building as its on exactly the same trajectory. Even from the ground its somewhat scary if you're not used to it! Hi Maria, thanks for your comment – glad to see your back online!

I think I might be the most jealous Maria in the whole wide world!London does indeed appear to be shockingly flat. I think the problem with a viewing gallery would probably be that the tallest buildings tend to house companies that wouldn't want randoms walking around their buildings, so any viewing gallery would probably have to be in a building purpose built for the public. Getting the money to make such a large building in London for the likes of us against the wishes of hundreds or even thousands of big companies who want an impressive London address is highly unlikely. The London Eye got past that problem pretty neatly though. Those pictures are gorgeous!!!
