yep, so we tried to go and see some of the "big" ones (Gerkin, Cheesegrater, Lloyds building) but were way to late, queues were over 1.5 long. But it was still a nice wander, went to Mary-le-bow, where the vicar gave an interesting short talk, then walked along the Thames path - not something we had done for a long time - it seems to have improved.

Next year: have subscribed to the newsletter and hope to be better organised (and get there earlier:)


What did others go & see?

Yes, I was also overwhelmed by all the options and thought it would be easier to access the smaller venue options. I did the Crystal Palace Subway, which was very interesting and informative. I am surprised that it continues to be boarded up; I could imagine the space being used to hold events and cultural activities. However, the tour was a bit underwhelming for me because I had expected to have access to a real subway system, a bit like spelunking or something, which the tour was not. However, the building exhibits beautiful examples of brick and stone craftsmanship and I am glad that I was afforded a chance to see it.
