Unhappy. We have been charged 5 times!! (£74.00!!!) And only parked for 6 hours!!…read more We only noticed because we saw the charges on our bank account statement whilst checking for something else. If this is a "mistake" (we have emailed car.parks@cityoflondon.gov.uk seeking clarification) then how many others are being charged stealth charges?? I (sometimes) work at the Tower of London, and will be notifying friends and colleagues about this. I will return to this comment once we have heard from Minories. Dennis

My motorbike was stolen from here, and there are often tramps taking drugs in the stairwell. And…read morenone of the electric car charging points work, so people ignore them and park non electric cars in them. I wish I owned this car park; I'd be raking in a fortune for practically zero maintenance cost.

Surrey Quays Shopping Centre isn't exactly the shopping mecca of London (or even South London) but…read moreI would probably describe it as good to supply your basic shopping requirements. There are always hundreds of children running around and it isn't the most visually appealing place to enjoy an afternoon of shopping - more of a get what you need and leave type place. It does have a few good high street stores such as River Island, New Look and Dorothy Perkins but each of these are small branches and I rarely find myself spending too much money. In terms of food shopping, there is a huge Tesco's which is probably the best I have ever visited and a couple of cafes. A little run down but it definitely suffices if you only need a few bits and pieces. Not somewhere to plan a real shopping outing however!

Tesco 24 hour is a bonus…read more Also has your river island, Burton and Starbucks. For opening bank accounts you have HSBC, Santander and Halifax

Last week I was lucky enough to get hold of a couple of tickets to the screening of "I'm Here" by…read moreSpike Jonze, a 30 minute produced for Absolut Vodka (a client at my work). I'd seen a couple of snippets from the film and was excited to see the whole thing, particularly as it was being shown in Brewer Street mulit-storey car park of all places. We arrived early and although it was a bit shit to be kept outside in the rain it was well worth the wait, despite getting rather wet. As we entered we walked down a flight of stairs and through a door into a very 'non-carpark' looking space with a popping bubble wrap carpet. The free badges and drinks vouchers went down a treat and we began to congregate in front of the projected screen. It seemed that we were going to have to park our bums on the floor until a series of cardboard boxes began expanding with inflating air beds breaking out of them! So we got comfy and the film began. The film was about a robot/computer love story and it was really good. I'd love to know if it's going to be available for everyone to see soon but in the mean time check out the trailer below.

Went here for London Fashion Week 2016. Was very lucky to be invited. A good use of the space for…read morethe catwalk, and showrooms. On three levels, Level 1 for registration, press and buyers lounge, Level 2 for Designer Showrooms, ranging from Ready-to-Wear to accessories and bags, jewellery and footwear, and finally Level 3 for the actual catwalk shows, which is by invitation only, but can be watched live on the london fashion week website.

Having booked an early departure on Eurostar we had the problem of travelling to St. Pancras from…read morehome. The train fare was more expensive than the deal we got from Eurostar. Trawling the net I came across Lomax Parking. What a find that was. For £15 a day (cheaper than most airports) we booked a place. A bonus was that if parking for 3 days or more, there is a courtesy taxi to the station and pick up on return. PERFECT. Everything went so smoothly, thanks to those guys at Lomax.

Sky Garden ended up being such a fun experience while we were in London…read more We started at the restaurant on the 27th floor and ordered a bottle of champagne for my friend's birthday. They gave us a really nice birthday discount which was unexpected and appreciated. The service the whole time was fantastic and the views were honestly incredible. After that we went down to the 26th floor and stayed there for a while because the vibe was just really good. Live music, more amazing views, people hanging out and enjoying themselves... it felt very "London night out" in the best way. Touristy? Sure. Worth it? Absolutely. Definitely something I'd recommend making time for if you're visiting London.

The Sky Garden is an absolute masterclass in how to waste people's time while pretending to run a…read more"reservation system." We had tickets for 12:45. In any remotely competent operation, that means you show up at 12:45 and go inside at 12:45. Not here. Here, your reservation is basically a polite suggestion that no one intends to honor. There is zero clear signage, so instead of simply following directions like a normal human being, you are forced to stand in a line just to ask someone what you are supposed to do. And who is handling this? One single, overwhelmed employee who is somehow responsible for scanning tickets and answering every random walk up question. One person. For a major tourist attraction. It is not just inefficient, it is absurd. After wasting time in that line, you are then sent to another, much longer line. For your "timed entry." So at 12:45, your actual reservation time, you are not entering. You are standing in a slow moving queue wondering why this place even bothers issuing tickets with times on them. Let's call it what it is. If you cannot honor reservation times, do not offer reservations. This system does not manage crowds, it creates them. And here is the part that really pushes it over the edge. We missed another reservation because of this disaster. Not because we were late. Not because we did not plan. But because this place is so poorly organized and so wildly inefficient that it derailed the rest of our day. That is not just annoying, it is completely unacceptable. This is not some small oversight. This is a fundamental failure in basic operations, communication, and respect for visitors' time. It is almost impressive how badly it is handled. By the time you finally get inside, it honestly does not matter how good the view is. The experience has already been ruined by the chaos, the delays, and the sheer incompetence of the system. If you value your time, skip it. Or go in fully expecting your "reservation" to mean nothing and your schedule to take the hit.
