I was there yesterday and at Joiner Street you're basically walking along the side of one wall of the Shard.

As before, I spoke to a man coming out of the Shard and he sat and we had a chat. He works on the firedoors! He also works on the firedoors within the gold Queen's Gold carriage coach and also within the Guildhall. Quite an expert then. He also said he really loved this job. Happy workers!


So I've talked with scaffolders, fire door workers, I would love to talk with a project manager - I wonder how many of those there are.


Immediately next to the Shard and part of the complex is what looks like another building. But as al four sides of the Shard are now being glazed, I could not work out what this other building is. Car park maybe? Very very very tall building in its own right and within the same compound.

The Eiffel Tower will still be a few ft taller than the Shard


Is it true that no buildings will be built in London higher than the Shard due to building restrictions and safety?

      We used Paul this week for various issue we had with the house.    He offered sound advice, communicated very well and we are happy with the work completed.    Would definitely recommend

      Might have left the job but says very little about agency management.. surely most companies have a hand over or would at least check that all was  in place… how long does it take to just look at e mails to see everything has been done? Hoping this is not for real as I thought this agency was long established in the area…Buck stops with manager of rental department or Manager is overall charge.. Everyone likes to pass the buck on - own up, put your hands up, everyone makes mistakes…

      Some posters introduce all kinds of falsehoods in their "search for the truth" which is in fact the last thing they're looking for. Their aim is to cause disruption and doubt, it's all a game for them, one step away from trolling.

      Wow!  Is this the remnants of a wood pigeon?  We occasionally see the feathers following a kill but only once have I seen the hawk in the garden and certainly not like your experience.
