VIEW FROM THE TOP

Yesterday morning was one of those mornings when you turn a corner in London and realise why you live here. It started like most peoples London morning I donned every layer of clothing I possessed, jammed myself on a rush hour train full of the tired, the passive and the enraged. Stepping out in to fog at Bank station, grey suits merging into stone, steal and cloud my job at a nearby office building was not looking good.

Then I walked out on the roof of Tower 42 and the whole day just changed.

London can occasionally be the most beautiful place in the world. I was shooting George Clarke for PA and Shelter as part of their Vertical Rush campaign. This was a truly amazing space despite the slight draught. If you can't run up 42 flights of stairs for a great charity and a view like that, you never will.
