Where to start! Obviously I won't bore you with history as it is all over this forum. We arrived here a bit late from London after having a nightmare on the trains, so we knew we had a bit of a flying visit due to the lack of daylight - although the clocks going forward helped us out! Managed to see a lot, including the tower and the padded cell. On the way out it got dark very fast, and the walkways and buildings can be very disorienting, especially when there are sagging/nonexistent floors all over the place. We were trying to get into the building we got in through, but we were in the one next to it, so coming back into the covered walkway a security guard who spoke very broken English and carried a large plank of wood caught us. We were walked to the nearest exit and waited with him and his partner until the police arrived. Won't go into that, but we got a lift to Epsom station! So not too bad. This is not a good place to be in the dark, mainly because you need to see where you are going, but also because security tend to be a lot more suspicious, and your torchlight gives you away!

Mate trust me one was walking behind us and the other was in front of us... It had got dark, and he said to us that at night time they usually call the police as they get more metal thieves at night. To be honest I was grateful we were shown out as we were tired and nearly fell through the floor in the building with the coat hanging up.... But still great - they were the only guys we bumped into, was a great visit.

And if we had run it would have looked too guilty. As you said they said to you leave now as we are calling the police.. But he kept saying don't run, and I'm glad I didn't, one of the police officers told me they had hit people in there before. Nutters!
