Who here works in the City?

MR PR took this from the front balcony the other day.

It's been photoshopped only for cropping slightly and to make it a bit clearer!

Anyone work in the top of the Bishopsgate tower or Gherkin who experienced this?

Weird, eh!

I work at the top of the Citigroup building in Canary Wharf - we frequently get enveloped by low cloud, and it's horrible! The other day the NW was a thick wall of grey, but the SE had thick dark grey fingers of cloud much lower than we were - probably the day you took this.

Quite often, the precipitation from minor localised showers is also lower than we are.

I guess it must be like being in a room with no windows on days like that.

a room/office without windows is more interesting... u can at least let ur imagination run away with you as to wots going on outside ;-)

[Jah Lush]

Does thou work down pit KK?

[KalamityKel]

Almost Jah almost!

last year there was some amazing mists, at the time i was on the top floor in the Barclays building in Canary Wharf and it was pretty eerie. You know there are buildings about 10-20 metres away from you but you cant see them.

[Jah Lush]

Yep! It can get like that occasionally. I'm at One Canada Square, Canary Wharf by the way. So just a stone's throw away.

[PeckhamRose]

Literally a stone's throw!

How I would LOVE to be allowed to go up to the top floors of those buildings.

So if any of you know how I could be allowed, let me know!

I've been up quite a few tall buildings in London including the two tethered balloons at Vauxhall and Tower Bridge several years ago. That was fun!

PR - BT Tower will be open to the public as part of Openhouse London this year, there's a ballot for places.

Thanks.

Looking carefully at the Gherkin it appears to have a pair of angry red eyes and thus letting off a lot of steam! >:D
