Bossy

Why do I always feel as if seagulls are giving me a right dressing down?

The building to the right known as the OXO tower, once an old power station, then in the 19th century underwent a renovation in art deco style for company that makes oxo beef cubes. The bureaucrats of the time would not allow large advertising signs to be erected. So the architect got around this by designing windows that create the visual effect of OXO.
The restaurant at the top has magnificent views over the Thames. Sadly like most restaurants in these situations the view is the highlight.
