View in the late afternoon, London illuminated, I would have liked more information - preferably briefly presented on panels or touchscreens - about the surroundings, the location and the building itself

Great views of the stage. We were lucky that there wasnt anyone tall in front of us which can make the experience less entertaining especially for our young child.
