If you ever have chance to go up the Orbit Tower on the Olympic Park- you know, the weird red thing – do it. I was up there yesterday, starting my shopping for a certain forthcoming festival involving the giving of presents early, and I thought I’d round off my day with a walk round the olympic park. On an impulse, I decided to go up the tower. At first I was in two minds because you have to pay, albeit not much; but once I got up to the top, the view was absolutely stunning. You can see for miles – it must be one of the greatest views of London I have ever enjoyed, right across the city. I now really want to take Lyn up there. It costs about fifteen quid for an annual pass, but it’s well worth it.
