Report - 5 Cheapside, London - November 2013

5 Cheapside, London

This major new high quality office and mixed-use development next to Paternoster Square in the City of London brings an entirely new building form to a culturally and commercially critical site less than 100m from St Paul's Cathedral.

After having an extremely close call in a place that you do not want to be caught, Gabe and myself decided to head up high for a bit to relax.

After having a some laughs at a few drunks stumbling by, we were on it, into the site and up. Nice and easy, good times.

Although this isn't massively high, it's location means that it still has goods to offer, including a rather sweet view of St Pauls. As some will say, a lower roof/height isn't always a bad thing as it's easier to appreciate what's around you, rather than feeling too far away up in the clouds. London, not being a particularly high city, can be easily enjoyed from a smaller height. That being said, there's nowt wrong with a good scraper of the sky every now and then...

Cheers.​
