Every morning around 9am as I'm walking into work in the city (London), I see this magnificant black Twin Squirrel helicopter descending amongst buildings near chancery Lane tube station. It's so low and extremely loud you can feel some of the downdraft mixed with the smell of jet fuel pounding down on you. Everyone stops and stares as the Pilot skillfully places it on top of a building, I'm guessing not much bigger than a car park space as the rotors can be seen over the edges. It's an impressive sight and a good motivator as I'm a Pilot (fixed wing) still trying to get a flying job. To the Pilot of that Chopper, thanks for the inspiration! :D

Most likely to be landing on the De Beers building in Charterhouse Street. I believe that's the only roof top heli-pad in London.
