Some new pictures and comments on Hilton Tower Bridge.

Won't add much text to the pictures but a few points:

-booked an exec room using the 50% off 'thank you' rate and was offered the suite for a reduced rate via NOR1 option which I took as finally wanted to see the suite they have.

-check in was quick and friendly

-exec lounge remains excellent and fairly busy (pics of the lounge below)...

-still one of my favourites and would recommend this place to anyone.

Some photos of the views and surrounding area:

-new shard building (see wikipedia link for more info):

is well visible from the exec lounge terrace or the suite windows.

-St. Pauls cathedral is visible from the suite but not really from exec lounge terrace

-you can also see the Gherkin from the exec lounge (but not the suite!)
