My house too PR - ditto my photo too big to fit (that's not a boast).


Can see from Millenium Dome (just) right thru' an arc to Wembley Stadium arch from the little roof terrace outside my home office.


WSatching the Shard grow day by day is fascinating - and a distracting work avoidance option.

Indeed MMan, watching that Shard grow is fabulous. I was literally walked past the west side of it on St Thomas Street the other day and spoke to a scaffolder exiting the site so took some time to talk to him about it. He was lovely and saying he had the best scaffolding job in the world!

I had my helmet with me but even with that as a hard hat I couldn't persuade him to let me up there with him!!!!!

By the way - will the Shard be much bigger than the current skeleton?

The Shard has now got lights up the sides of it looking like tall Christmas Trees. Just went past there. But I can't see them yet from 'our' side. Maybe they will put some up for our side tomorrow. I remember when the gherkin was going up, the whole thing was given green and yellow lights so it looked like a christmas tree that year. Meanwhile, I just rode past the Pinnacle and that's going to be coming into view shortly. Or rather tall-ly.

    • Look, I can see you feel very strongly about it, but there’s a whole load of people for whom it does not bother one bit. 
    • Thanks to everyone who replied in this thread. Genuinely helpful information, observations and thoughts... and helps restore my broader faith in humnanity! Also, my bank just told me someone called them saying they had found my card on Crystal Palace Road. Thank you people of East Dulwich ❤️.

    • But that's the point isn't it Mal, if you go to Glastonbury you are with a hundred thousand other people in the wilds of the country and you cannot complain about noise disruption - you can be selective about where you camp of course.  The Glasto organisers and local council go out of their way to keep the locals onside - friends of mine used to live in a village some miles from Worthy Farm and would be offered free tickets. But there are a lot of people in Dulwich and Herne Hill and Brixton who have huge amounts of disruption thrust upon them because this is, after all, a densely populated urban area and not deepest Somerset.  Councils want to monetise our public spaces as much as they can but this is often in conflict with the needs and wants of their constituents who live nearby. What is happening in Brockwell is a warning as Southwark will want to try and monetise Peckham Rye to the same extent if they can.
