Recently rediscovered an old Photobucket account, with a few random collections of photos; including this small set from a New London Bridge House, back in April 2010. If my memory serves me correctly there were a few things on the list for that evening, one of which included Heron. At the time I think we were spooked by sensors and/or cameras on the staircases; so ended up heading to New London Bridge House instead, which was a lot simpler.
New London Bridge House, London - April 2010
New London Bridge House was an office high-rise located at 25 London Bridge Street, beside the station, and one block back from the River Thames. Completed in 1967, it consisted of 25 floors; and was demolished in 2010 to make way for the Shard development. Previously "occupied by five tenants including Standard Chartered Bank", it was reportedly sold for £39.5m in 2003.
It was possible to climb the stairs most of the way before before accessing the crane (via a bridge) on the West-side of the building.
View looking up at the crane.
And finally, South towards the Strata SE1
