Up the Monument.

[SimonMac]

I keep meaning to go up there. Is the view good?

No, you can still only see London from there

The spiral staircase is as impressive as the view when you look down from the top.

Yeah, took a photo fron the top on the way down. Proper tourist like.

I presume we are talking about the Monument and yes the view is quite impressive for a building that is slowly being surrounded by taller buildings.

Must have been amazing in it's early days.

Sorry to let you down but there is no bar.

A very important scientific instrument in its day.

Currently reading "The Invisible College", well worth the read if you want the background on the "Royal Society".

I'd like to help. but my eyes were watering

I can confirm there is a real ale bar at the top. Want to go up now?

Excellent!

After I went up the monument I went up the oxo tower. Now that was painful.

Funnily enough that was the exact same words that Charlie Gilmour said after he was locked down in the cell with Bubba "let's play mummies and daddies" Knuckledragger.

I once climbed the stairs at Hampstead tube station.

God that was knackering, and the dust (human skin?!) was about half an inch thick. Can't have been swept for decades.

I believe household dust is 80% human skin. But on the underground it is probably rodent skin.

HTH

Just done the 311 steps up the Monument near Bank. It was nice knowing you all. :-)
