I remember saying that I didn't think I would like the "Shard" building, but guess what, I didn't dislike it!<br />Could it be because of some of the other horrid looking buildings that I saw? The one that looks like a Walkie Talkie? (I think it looks like a giant men's shaver).<br />The South Bank was incredible!
