Euronet supports the Olympics bid:

London Open House Walk

Every year, some of London's most exclusive buildings open up to the public for just one weekend: London Open House. More than 50 enthusiastic Euronet members decided to join a specially designed tour of selected places:

Westminster Hall (Houses of Parliament)
Portcullis House (offices of parliamentarians)
Jewel Tower, the ‘King’s Privy Wardrobe’
Royal Courts of Justice, an introduction to the British justice system
City Hall, the new office of London's mayor Ken Livingstone

The most desired building, the Swiss Re tower, better known as the 'gherkin', had unbelievably long queues. Some die-hard members came back the next day, queued for 5 hours (see last picture below), got in and enjoyed the breathtaking views and architecture.

We can't wait for our Open House Tour 2005!
