London's best lift
I popped into the Hilton Metropole today to use the lav, but was amazed by the lifts, so I used them. One of them even gives you a view of the London Eye. I wonder if there is a top ten of great lifts online... |

In one set you enter in one pair of doors but exit from a pair in an adjacent - not opposite - wall. It may not sound much but it's unexpected the first time one sees it. |

But it was so much fun, with the view 30 metres down into the crowded swimming pool. |

Visitors to the building are barred from using it "because it's dangerous". tim |

AFAIK the one in Northwick Park is still the a sign forbids the public from using it, but that didn't stop me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster#United_Kingdom says there's also one in Viscount House, a private BA building at Heathrow. |

According to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paterno...United_Kingdom Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow Viscount House building, Heathrow Airport But it sounds like neither are open to the public. tom -- mimeotraditionalists |
