Vertigo 42

To celebrate my wife getting a new job, we decided to go somewhere special for a drink.  I took her to a pretty unknown cocktail bar, dubbed 'Vertigo 42', on the 42nd floor of what appeared to be a very uninspiring, but tall, office building.  After going though a more thorough baggage and metal dedector check than I have had at most international airports we were fired up an elevator shalf  at about mark-6.  The bar was laid out around the edge of the building so you always sit facing the view.  I have been to many towers in many countries to test the view of their landscape, and I have never seen such an amazing view of a city.  The view was actually breathtaking.  I also timed it perfectly to see the view go from day to night and seeing the cityscape change before our eyes was amazing.  Everything from Alexandra Palace to BT tower, St Pauls to the London Eye, the Thames to the Shard, it was like London was spread out before us.  The staff were polite and helpful and the cocktails were pleasing to the palet, and although they'll set you back a hefty £14 plus, when you consider a trip up teh shard is £25 with no cocktails, you actually saving money.  Check out the time lapse video I make of the sun setting and the lights coming on:
