Up and Down London

Good night spent with Kevin Arnold , Sho and  Keïteï . Done one underground location with funny narrow entrance, had to actually leave my jacket outside and crawl on 90 degrees to fit through, followed by two high buildings and some exceptional views. BPS Tunnels SCH Building not too high, but a nice chilling location with river view. SM Crane it was quite, damn high.

St George's Centre Crane

It's St George... again, it must be dest0ny, he deserves a credit. Saint George was, according to tradition, a Roman soldier from Syria Palaestina and a priest in the Guard of Diocletian, who is venerated as a Christian martyr. In hagiography Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic (Western and Eastern Rites), Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox churches. He is immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. His memorial is celebrated on 23 April, and he is regarded as one of the most prominent military saints. This building/crane is located in Canterbury, not very high, but with the lovely view on the Canterbury Cathedral, the building will be used for student housing when completed in 2012. It was.. very foggy.

St George Tower

After a day of exploring we had some extra time to spent in London, just enough for a little mooch. After failing to get somewhere else, we noticed this tower and crane from the distance, and as we haven't done high stuff before, decided to give it a go, and it was well worth it. info:  St George Tower, also known as the The Tower, is a residential skyscraper under construction in Vauxhall, London, as part of the St George development. When built, it will be 181 metres (594 ft) tall with 49 storeys, making it the tallest residential building in the United Kingdom. We managed to climb up to 22 storey and that's where the construction ends at the moment, so revisit is quite possible.
