The killer feature for us? Those openings at the bottom and mid-way up the building itself. Referred to as 'Sky Frames' these areas will apparently feature swimming pools, gardens and barbeque areas.

As you might have come to expect from Richard, his photographs are stunning. Not only are they pretty to look at, but the photo set acts as a guide to London for any prospective tourists. We can picture some of you wandering round the streets getting a look in real life at what Richard has captured in his snaps :-) As well as the N8, Richard has been spending some time getting to grips with the Lumia 800's camera.
