UK - London - Nikon Centenary Meetup - Cityscape 02_DSC8131
As part of the Cityscapes section of last months #Nikon100 #London #NikonMeetups we were granted access to the roof of Sea Containers House on the southern bank of the Thames. The various roof terraces and balconies aren't normally open to the public and gave great 360 degree views of the London skyline.
One of the more memorable aspects of the building is the large signage up on top of the building. The observant amongst you will note I've flipped this as the sign is usually readable from the North bank of the Thames........

From Wikipedia : "Sea Containers House is located towards the eastern end of London's South Bank cultural area, and is within the London Borough of Southwark. A continuous river-side walkway, actually part of the Thames Path, passes in front of and below the building, and links it with near river-side attractions such as the Festival Hall, the National Theatre, the Tate Modern, the Oxo Tower and the Globe Theatre.
Sea Containers House was originally conceived as a luxury hotel. Its location near to the City of London led to the decision to complete it instead as office space. Its name comes from the former long-term tenant, Sea Containers.
In Spring 2011, a process began to gain planning permission for an extensive internal and external refurbishment of Sea Containers House. The east and west wings, which face the Thames, remained offices, with companies within global communications group WPP moving in February 2016. The south wing was renovated as the Mondrian Hotel London, bringing at least part of the building back to its original intended use."
