I’ve known for sometime that it is possible to book a free visit slot at the Sky Garden at the top of 20 Fenchurch Street (The Walkie Talkie) London.

So I used the opportunity before the the Autodesk University London set up afternoon to do a bit of lunchtime work there.

| The contrast of old vs new |

| The fantastic space at the top |
 |
| Natural ventillation combined with artificial watering provides the environment for the garden |
 |
| Quiet at the back for those wanting a view of the Shard and the Gherkin |
 |
| Zoom in to spot Wembley in the distance |
