“An extraordinary writer” John Carpenter

Horizon 22

Posted on March 6, 2024March 6, 2024 By mikeysizemore

I went to London and all I got was this lousy best city on the face of the planet

We visited Horizon 22 for the first time today and it was a lovely experience. It’s currently London‘s highest viewing platform and is completely free. The only snag is its booked up for months ahead (they do allow walk-ins on the day, but it’s determined by how busy the platform is so you may not get in). I booked our slot before Christmas and took a gamble that the weather would be okay. The day started very overcast, but luckily (mostly) cleared up by the time we got to the 58th floor. On a sunny day at the height of summer the view must be incredible, but I quite liked how part of the city today was a little foggy.

A tourist asked me to take his photo, “It’s so my wife knows I’m here and not shacked up with some beautiful floozy,” he explained. “Ah, but the beautiful floozy could be the one taking the photo…”, I said as I handed his phone back. “She’s not that smart…” was the reply.

Bonus points for any day where I get to use the word ‘floozy’.
