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!

When you first see the TaylorMade R1 driver you are probably going to do a double take. The…read moregraphics on the crown may dissuade some but if this is the case, then put this thought to one side and try the R1 driver as you will forget about the looks once you hit it. Well the R1 has a much wider range of adjustable options so TaylorMade say that this is 'one driver for everyone'. There are 12 different loft settings over a range of 8 to 12 degrees including 2 upright positions. This means that there will only be one model and then you change the loft to suit. Research from TaylorMade found that 80% of people play with the wrong loft, with 35% by more than 2 degrees, so it is essential to go through some form of custom fitting process to get the right setting for your swing. TaylorMade say there will also be a telephone support line with tuning experts to help you do this and the head cover will have a dial on it so you can record your preferred settings, which are nice touches. The standard R1 driver comes with the excellent Aldila RIP Phenom 55g gram shaft that is very light and stable. The TP version comes with a more expensive and slightly heavier 65 gram shaft. The TaylorMade R1 driver is pricey but the sound, feel, forgiveness and loft options are all top drawer and in our opinion this is one of the better drivers TaylorMade have created in recent years.

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.

This is London's highest public garden that has 3 restaurants,2 bars and a gift shop…read more There is no admission fee but you must get a free ticket online.Tickets are available up to 3 weeks in advance of your visit and available time slots are listed. Arrive about 15 minutes early as you have to go thru security screening. Once thru security you take the elevator to the 35th floor. The views are amazing as are the gardens. Plenty of seating is available and there are public restrooms.

We snagged sunset tickets to Sky Garden. I logged in shortly after tickets were made available…read moreonline three weeks prior and was able to book tickets for one of the nights of our trip. I would have preferred an earlier evening time slot, but they were not available. They are quite strict about going in at your designated time slot and they let people up in the elevator only when its your time. We were actually waiting in the lobby of an adjacent building where there was lots of seating, not realizing that the line formed on the *other side* of the building so beware. We lined up, went through security, went up the elevators, and then had an unlimited time up in Sky Garden. Since we already ate dinner, we didn't buy any food or drinks. The enclosed rooftop space is really quite breathtaking. There are all walls on all four sides which makes the views just unbelievable. There is a balcony as well, but it was closed at the time of our visit (at night?) From the "front" lower side, you can see River Thames and the Tower Bridge/Tower of London. From the back, there are amazing views of The Gherkin. Up at the higher side, there is more space and some platforms to sit. However, it was really hard to be on the stairs going up and down because it was so congested. As you can imagine, the photos out the windows are amazing because the views are amazing. However, it's impossible to get photos of your party because there will be tons of people around you. The whole space is just packed with tourists. I was glad to have experienced it once, but I don't ever plan on returning and would try a viewing area that is less touristy. It's worth a stop but not worth taking a huge chunk of time from your day if it doesn't slot in naturally.
