A few more pics taken this lunch time. Less dramatic progress than over the weekend.


The canopies to the east of Gate 2 on St Thomas Street seem to be complete now.




From Great Maze Pond, with the ubiquitous Guy's Tower




Lesser seen view - from the Memorial Park of Guy's campus




Three views of the spire moving westward








Nicked the idea from Chest. Well, I have used it a while back, but I was inspired by his recent posting to have another go myself





With the Borough Viaduct from Bedale Street





The Shard provides a backdrop for the Skanska crane on the corner of London Bridge Street and Borough High Street






West side spire views
