I am eating at Hutong tonight. I will post a report on whether it is value for money.

Just climbed up the outside for free. You'll be on the 10 o'clock news.

I don't think London has got the skyline to need to go that high, the Heron Tower is probably a good option or even the wheel as it's in a much better part of town. Went up the World Trade Centre a few times....now that was brilliant, open air deck on the roof and a great view up to midtown with all the other skyscrapers.

A few of my work colleagues are wanting to go up the Shard as an excuse for a team build. So far they're being outvoted by us who'd rather spend the money getting pissed on a boat trip down the Thames.
