City Rooms

Trinity project got the go-ahead from the City of London. You might not have heard of Trinity. It’s a cosy threesome of office buildings set for construction in that obscure corner of the City known as Minories. Just shy of 100 m tall, its loftiest section will stand taller than the Westminster Clock Tower. Not so exciting in its own right. But when you look at some of the other upcoming projects around town, a trend emerges. Architects seem to have a newfound penchant for the bulky and bulbous, in three shades of grey. Take Foster’s ‘ cyborg cathedral ’ (left, above), a development in Walbrook just a few feet shorter than St Paul’s. Its unusual profile has led some to dub it the Darth Vader helmet. The ponderous, melting mass will replace the little-lamented Bucklersbury House. Then there’s this Allies and Morrison brute (right) at 120Moorgate , which recently received planning permission.

With bank holiday coming up this Monday, here are some fresh ideas for where to go if you fancy getting out of the city. Hop on the train at Victoria and you’ll be in Brighton in roughly 50 mins. It’s cool, you’ll be by the sea, it’s always sunny and there are loads of nice places to eat fish and chips , drink and people watch. You also can find cabaret, comedy, classical concerts, theatre and loads of other stuff to keep you entertained. Not up for Brighton? Then check out some of the Polo match fixtures in Sussex . People riding horses whilst hitting balls with sticks, free entry and a licensed bar serving bubbles all sounds pretty good to us. Our next suggestion is punting in Oxford. Head down to the  Magdalen Bridge Boathouse where you can choose to hire a rowing boat, pedalo or punt. If you’re feeling a little lazy you can even enjoy a chauffeured punting experience. Moreover, there is plenty more the city has to offer. Go for a wander aroun...
