No, not THAT sort of high... ;)

What I mean is, what's the highest level that you have ...

1) Lived on
2) Worked in
3) Visited ??


This thread was originally started in Euroscrapers btw. For me ....

1) Lived on = only the 4th floor, but I have a great view of the Natural History Museum from up here.

2) Worked in = only the 4th floor, but it was quite a prominent location - the building was next door to Tower 42.

3) Visited = About 300m (top of the Eiffel Tower).
In London I went to the 13th floor of Plantation Place last year, which had amazing panoramic views from the roof terrace. I've also been to the 8th floor of the Cascades Tower in the Docklands.

So, what about everyone else?

1) Lived on- 2nd floor, not very high.

2) Worked in- I don't work but at school I've worked on the 5th floor of a small tower block.

3) Visited- The highest place I can think of is the London Eye, 135m.

Ive been to the very top of Swiss Re. Lucky me. 186m or something like that
Ive been up the Eiffel Tower. 300m as you say
I've also been up the tallest building in France. Not sure on its name, just a little shorter than 1CS. 250M
London Eye 135m

Thats it really :(

1) Lived on - 2nd

2) Worked in - 4th floor of college......

3) Visited - 276m up the Eiffel, 210m atop Tour Montparnasse, 1085m up Mt. Snowdon. :crazy:

Not been up much but went up North Tower(only 80 meters) in Manchester when I shouldnt have been. So what are the tallest buildings you shouldnt have been up.

Only lived as high as the 4th floor.
Only worked as high as the 4th floor.

Highest place in London i've been is probably the top balcony of the new GLA building; i have some uni work to do and went to see some people in the council there and they took my out onto the balcony - the view was awesome. Incidently the building is also very cool inside, i can imagine it being similar to that of Swiss RE.

Yet to go on the wheel!

Lived = 3rd floor of a 23 storey block ( :mad: )... I'm on the 3rd floor of a 5 storey block now.

Worked = I don't think I've ever got off the ground floor. I've spent most of my working life below ground!

Lived on the 2nd floor
Worked on the sixth floor
Visited the top of the old World Trade Centre in Lower Manhatten.

Let's see

Lived: 5th floor

Worked: Well, if you include high school as work, my high school had 10 stories, so I guess I have "worked" on the 10th floor

Visited: observation deck, ESB. My high school was only 4 blocks from the WTC, why did I not visit the top when I had a chance!!! :bash:

Lived on the third storey of a 5 storey building

Worked on the 11th floor of a 12 floor building

As for visited, I don't know. Possibly Mont St Michel in France... Or an aeroplane of course :D

I don't think I've ever been up a skyscraper before. The highest I suppose in a building is 101m, on the roof of Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral. And that was only 2 weeks ago!

The highest I've ever been in my life is 37'000 feet on my way to Majorca in 1997.

Another one I didn't mention is the London College of Printing which I went to last year in Elephant & Castle. It's about 50m tall and the upper floors have a view that stretches from Westminster, all the way round to the City and CW.

Does the London Eye count? Because I've been on that thing twice.

Lived on: 9th floor; worked: 3rd floor; visited: 111th floor (former WTC, that's actually the roof ('111th' floor)).

I used to live on the 10th floor

The highest ive been, is to the top of Sears Tower,and the Empire State ,,

I live in a house, and always have done.

Highest I've worked was on the 5th floor of an 8 storey building, but only for a day and a half 'cos it were utter poo.

Highest I've been... probably the London Eye. In a real building then probably the top of the Hyatt in Brum.

Does the London Eye count? Because I've been on that thing twice.
Me too, that's another one I didn't mention. :)

Btw, the observation deck on LBT will be 735ft up.

Heron and Minerva will have restaurants open to the public on their top floors.

Lived in - 6th floor of crappy uni halls

Worked in - 7th floor at broadgate

Visited - CN Tower observation deck. In the UK i've visited the top of 25 Bank street, Citigroup and HSBC at canary wharf.

i've lived on the third floor twice. Though i spent some time living on the 4th floor of my dads holiday flats whilst our house was being refurbished or if we were between houses etc.

At macdonalds i worked as a lowlife scum on the kitchen floor! But i cleaned rooms and changed bedsheets in my dads flats again so 4th floor again.

Highest place i've visited - Good ol' Tour de Eiffel.

Lived - 2 storey house!

Worked - 10th floor Concourse house in Lime Street, Liverpool

Visited - Not sure of the height but the top pod thing on the CN Tower. also been on the top of the World Trade Centre and Empire State.

Lived: 3rd floor

worked: if my studies count, then 5th floor

visited: 128m (observation deck of the Hamburg TV-Tower), ca. 2000m (Etna Volcano, I haven't been to the top)

Actually, Ive worked below ground and on the first story only. Ive only lived in one house..so mark that a first story. The highest I have visited was Sears Tower and the Stratosphere in Las Vegas.

1. Lived on the 3rd floor of a 15 floor tower in Osaka

2. Worked on the 16th floor of the Kintetsu Shin Namba building in Osaka

3. Visited and been up the CN Tower, Taipei 101, Petronas Towers, Landmark Tower, Umeda Sky Building and numorous other buildings in Umeda, Sunshine 60, JR Nagoya twin towers, Dentsu Building, Tokyo Government Buildings, Sears Tower, Menara Malaysia (4th tallest telecom tower in the world).

I have also been up to 5250 metres in Peru. The highest altitude I've slept at is 4100 metres, on the shore of Lake Titicaca in Peru. The highest mountain that i've climbed is Mount Fuji which has an absolutely breathtaking view - better than any skyscraper that i've been up as you can see Tokyo and Yokohama beneath you, lights crackling in the distance. Magic.

After working on the 16th floor of a skyscraper I can say that its just simply awesome working at such a height. From my office where I taught I could see the sunset every night over Osaka bay.. 3km north to Umeda (Japan's 2nd business district), the longest suspension bridge in the world (Akashi-Kaikyo), Kobe and the Namba district with neon blazing a few hundred metres away.

Working in a skyscraper is highly recommended! (no pun intended!) I will be only really applying for jobs with companies in London who have offices in skyscrapers. Can anyone come up with a list?

I can now say that I've worked on the 18th floor (approx. 85m) of a 33-storey, 153m building...

Worked on the 12th floor now and again (was a postman delivering to a block)

All of these posts seem to be from me but they're not. It shows how old this thread is - before the great hack of July 2005 when thousands of Fox's and other forumers posts became "Monkey's". This is Fox's thread perhaps? :dunno:
