London's best lift
 

I popped into the Hilton Metropole today to use the lav, but was amazed by
the lifts, so I used them. One of them even gives you a view of the London
Eye. I wonder if there is a top ten of great lifts online...

I'm sure you had a great view whilst you went, but didn't they mind you
peeing in their lifts ?

My favourites are in Memorial Hall, Great Queen Street. In one set you
enter in one pair of doors but exit from a pair in an adjacent - not
opposite - wall. It may not sound much but it's unexpected the first
time one sees it.

But it was so much fun, with the view 30 metres down into the crowded
swimming pool.

There's one in the parliament building in Helsinki. Visitors to the
building are barred from using it "because it's dangerous".

AFAIK the one in Northwick Park is still the a sign forbids the public
from using it, but that didn't stop me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster#United_Kingdom says there's also
one in Viscount House, a private BA building at Heathrow.

Yep. Quick, efficient, and absolutely terrifying.

Are there any left in London?

According to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paterno...United_Kingdom

Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow
Viscount House building, Heathrow Airport

But it sounds like neither are open to the public.
