You step out onto Lower Thames Street with the river at your shoulder and the towers looming ahead, stone and iron catching the light. The guide moves with purpose, ushering you past a thin ribbon of people and into the glass-floored walkway 42 metres above the Thames. Standing there, the city opens beneath your boots and the river dares you to look down.
