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?

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Fiddlestix · Posted

      Just had an interior decorating job done by Andy. The final outcome looks lovely and he did some remedial work at the same time to fill in gaps in the ceiling (due to previous electrical work) and to remediate any similar areas to ensure a polished overall look. Would highly recommend him for any similar job, he quoted a very reasonable price for the job as well. Thanks Andy!

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      Well at least there are now functioning bulbs in 2 of the hanging lights in the main passageway to the street. Very luxurious not having to walk through in the dark anymore!

      So work has still not started in the station square. After years of delays we were told it would begin in summer 2025, then October, then January and now just "soon" / "this year". That means the new square is not going to open this year. Pretty poor that Southwark is unwilling  to communicate any reasons for its continuing delays. Meanwhile for the station itself, Network Rail is moving forward with a minor scheme to reduce the crush but still with no lifts:  https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-station-to-get-5m-makeover-while-waiting-for-step-free-rebuild-87172/

      Great, thanks! Great, thanks, never heard of these before, that's useful. That's a very odd photo to use for the teenage girl.
