Absolutely amazing! On my next London visit I will definitely try to schedule a short stop at this marvellous building.

It's not open to the public except on special days (like the Open House Weekend, once a year) or if you work there. But you can certainly walk right up to it - it's just as good from the outside as it is from the inside I think, except of course the view from the top is excellent.
