London City Hall

This Norman Foster designed City Hall is home to the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.


 Built in 2002 it has an unusual spiral ramp at its core.




 Looking upwards from the Assembly floor you get interesting views of the spiral.

    This unique building reminds me of a humongous slinky toy … something that was/is very popular in my part of the world. I would imagine the stairs are dizzying!

    I wondered what that building looked like inside! I love your photos of the staircase. They make it look like a chambered nautilus shell.
