    Took the wife and kids up to the viewing platform yesterday. Thankfully, the children are both under 4 so only my wife and I paid - £30/each. Add on the family photo - £25!! the total was £85 - quite a bit for a view. It is signficantly higher than any other view of London I've seen though, but not that scary. Scary is something I like when going up tall places, and St. Pauls still delivers the goods on this the best after hundreds of years. Still - worth a look if you're feeling flush.

    Regards, Rob Philpott.

    £85! Have I mentioned to you a bridge that MehGerbil is selling? I'm on commission but you'll love it, it's right up your street.

          Methinks the urine is being extracted by the owners... :sigh:

              I can't believe I'm saying this, but that thread is funny.

                Is there a Double Sens that I did not get, here ?

                ~RaGE();

                I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Do not feed the troll ! - Common proverb

                      A few years back there was (and still may be) a restaurant review site where the Oxo Tower received lots of rather amusing reviews based on the "took her up the Oxo Tower" meme
