Green Makeover for London's City Hall

The charismatic Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has spoken of his desire to "make London the greenest city on earth." Mr Johnson signed up City Hall to the 10:10 campaign, which is designed to ensure greenhouse gas emmissions are cut by ten per cent by the end of 2010.

Visitors and locals alike can get to grips with the best of London's rich heritage and do their bit for the environment by going walk about with a Walk Talk Tour audio donwloadable walking tour.

"We will be redoubling efforts to drive down energy use at City Hall, notably through motivating our staff to become even more alert to wasteful practices. There are also plans to introduce more efficient lighting and smart meters."

London's City Hall is home to the Mayor of London, the London Assembly and the Greater London Authority who moved into this 45 metre high, ten storeys building in July 2002. More eco friendly, than a traditional office block of similar size, the egg shaped building minimises its surface area so that less energy is wasted.

As a keen jogger and cyclist, Mr Johnson would no doubt enjoy taking in the sights on the South Bank with the City and South Bank tour. Exploring the English capital on foot generates a fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions that seeing the city on a tour bus does. And a Walk Talk Tour of London is cheaper...
