Last section of box removed this morning.
Some of those planes seem deceptively close.

I used to look out my back window and used to see the steeple of Trinity Church, since the school built a two storey building in the grounds that view is lost.

Looking out last night to the right I saw the Shard looking like a christmas tree! win some..lose some I suppose!

What is this tree called. Many of them dotted around Guy's, this one in the courtyard.
Someone suggested it's a Pollarded platanus acerifolia tree, the 'London Plane'.

It's pollarded, not sure of type from this picture but could certainly be a London Plane. Was it dropping clouds of tiny splinter like seed husks?

Eventually anything that flies will fly past the Shard. Today it's a convoy of chinooks.
