Go late at the AcelorMittal Orbit

It seems like everything in London is having late openings nowadays, and last Friday your author attended the first in a series of late events at the AcelorMittal Orbit in the Olympic Park. Though at the start the event was slightly shambolic, with long bar queues and a chilly wind blowing through, eventually it settled down to be quite a nice evening with sounds and some music from Astronauts and a "synth-folk drone-ballad" band called Transept.


Tonight, there's another event, and this evening will witness a silent disco at the top of the tower. Tickets are £17.50, which seems like an awful lot of money until you remember it's usually £15 to go up, and you don't usually get to watch it get dark over London.
