London's Most Desirable Room

A room for London looks like a boat perched on the roof of the Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre. The installation a collaboration between architect David Kohn and artist Fiona Banner will rest here for all of 2012. The room was available for anyone to book at £120 for the night. It was harder to get a reservation here than buy a ticket to the Olympics. Bookings sold out within 12 minutes.
It is hoped that it might perch on other sites around London in the future. Maybe I might get lucky and get a chance to see inside when it does.
