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.

Now how about providing sleeping bags for the London Eye?

Great view from there, but I will stick to my cardboard box at that price.

Is there an en suite??

I've heard of something similar to this before but, for the life of me I can't remember where it was; possibly New York or maybe Paris. This is an interesting idea. It would be fun to stay there armed with cameras and tripod to capture those views.

Oooo, I'd pay £120 to stay there for the night!

Definitely an interesting looking room at a great location. 120 quid is a good deal for London...

Yes, I'd love to stay there too - or even just see inside.

Book it for the year! Where else can you touch the view for £3K a month?

Crazy idea and good marketing. IT would be fun to have one of those - like a caravan.
