Lonely Planet review

Glass-clad City Hall, designed by Sir Norman Foster and Ken Shuttleworth, is transparent in both the figurative and literal senses. There's a visitors centre ( - ) on the lower ground floor, which also includes the 'London Photomat', an aerial photo of 1000 sq metres of the city stuck to the floor and large enough for you to walk on and pick out individual buildings, and a café looking onto an outside amphitheatre.

Some other areas, including the ramp, the meeting room on the 6th floor called 'London's Living Room' (available to any Londoner) and outside viewing gallery, are open on certain weekends. Check the website for details.
