Excellent pictures of a very nice building. The first shot does remind me a bit of the HSBC tower in Hong Kong. (See here a shot in my Picasa WEB album, the following one is taken inside).

Thanks Prieni.

That buildin' in your shot was designed by Sir Norman Foster, the same guy who designed the Swiss RE (Gherkin) in London, which is located jus' a few hundred yards from Lloyds.

Yes, now that you mention it I remember. It's the same guy who put the glass dome on the Reichstag, isn't it?

Yeah, the Swiss RE building is a beauty as well. A very talented guy he is, Sir Norman.
