At One New Change shopping mall.
Once inside, take the lift to the 6th floor, go left out of the elevator, then left and walk to the edge of the viewing platform. You get an uninterrupted view of the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral. To its left, in the distance, see the London Eye, through the centre of which you can see Big Ben. To the immediate left is The Shard.

To get there, walk to the left of St Paul’s Cathedral, passing the original Temple Bar on the left . Keep walking ahead, cross over the next road and enter the shopping mall.

I found this info on [http://www.londondiscoverytours.co.uk/7-days-in-london/] where there's also lots of useful info for Londoners and visitors. (I'm a Londoner but didn't know about this until just now.)
The site also has a list of film locations and of pop and rock locations too.

Ah - but you don't have to go on their tours, Mickey.
You can just follow the advice given on their site. It' s some of the best I've come across. And it's also free.

Not that they have any reason for giving free the advice.

Its not as if there's anything in it for them.

They're kind-hearted and generous souls, just like yourself.

Thanks for the info.

Their advertising philosophy is that when you give out free samples there will be some people who are willing and able to pay to get more. I don't have a problem with that at all.

go_2, you might want to look up the meaning of 'irony'.

.... or then again, as a former journalist and now internationally-acclaimed poet, I might not. :>))

But you might possibly be in need of a refresher course. Are you a Merkin, by any chance? I usually find they aren't very au fait with some of the finer points of English grammar...

You might, as you don't seem to know what it mean. Given the credentials you claim to have, that's a huge failure on your part. Its also very strange that you think irony is something to do with grammar!

My guess that anyone who refers to a stranger as a pubic wig on a forum isn't internationally acclaimed at anything. If they were, they would have better things to do.

But keep the insults coming, by all means. They will do the company you're advertising a world of good.

Kudos, Micky! Most people don't recognise the referral. I'm impressed.

But whatever makes you think I'm advertising? I'm simply disseminating free advice.- about free things. I know nothing about the company on whose website I found it.
And have i endorsed them at all, or said to use them?
