Holden Point is a large towerblock in Stratford, East London. It mainly houses elderly people. There is a nice suprise at the top, a viewing gallery overlooking the new Eurostar terminal and the site of the 2012 Olympics. I was doing some work in the block a few months ago and decided to take a look at the view from higher up. Luckily, the roof door was wide open, so I popped out and had a look.
Views were great. I have been back to the block a few times but everything has been well locked down, huge steel doors with large locks. Security is really tight here as well due to the block being sheltered housing, so I dont recommend you try to gain access to this one.
