A rare excursion for me as I accepted an invite to a celebration of the opening of the Glass Gherkin – that huge glass, cigar shaped tower not far from City Hall. I rarely go to ‘dos’ as I have so many meetings but I am such a huge fan of modern architecture that I cannot resist this opportunity.

What a fabulous view and building. From the top floor which is made for entertaining with a 360 degree view of London you can see our little City Hall.
