There is supposed to be a restuarant at the top. Anyone know if it's open to the public like the one in the old natwest tower?
Why can i see a obese woman lowering herself upon that?

That's the Swiss Re building. I delivered some of the computer desks. I had a wander around it and it is very impressive.

Believe there is a top notch restaurant in there.
Telegraph says "But such carping is forgotten at the top — three floors with a restaurant, private dining rooms and, at the summit, under a wigwam-like lattice glazed structure, a bar. Tragically, particularly given the stupendous view, 180 metres up, this dramatic space is only open to Swiss Re and their tenants.

heard a story about a delivery van pulling up on the pavement outside for a delivery round the corner, hazard lights and all that -had half the anti terrorist force surrounding it within minutes!
Entrance is like Gatwick airport security - scanners, metal detectors, etc. Apparently half of the building is empty because of the astronomic rent

It's predecessor was spread around London by the IRA, so I guess they might be kind of nervous.

I look out on this every day Mon-Friday I am suprised it is causing this much excitment now it has been open since 2002 Why Swiss Re cannot payout all thier 9/11 Non Proportional losses is beyond me. The RE before any fools on here gets it wrong, is for Re-insurance.

Can you imagine a building like that being build in brighton and hove? It would give the usual objectors a field day.

250 metres from the gherkin, it's fantastic.
the restaurant (stirlings?) is on the ground floor.

I'm sandwiched between the Girkhin and Lloyds... not too much hope for me in the event of a British 9/11 (those two buildings probably being high on the list of targets).
Not been in the Sterling myself, but Mrs Shirty was in there a couple of weeks ago and had to pay about £12 for two glasses of wine.

Only the 1st 14 floors are Swiss Re. The other 19 floors are virtually empty.
Norman Foster, who you can imagine is a bit embarrassed by this, had a hairbrained suggestion recently about converting it to residential flats.
Great building though, but more of an architectural than commercial success so far
Will take a look at it now as I'm offski to catch my train to Bri'on.
