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. |
