Cool if you work in the City. My boss and I did it on our lunch break.

The Temple was then moved, put out in the open in Queen Victoria Street in front of some offices and was largely ignored - essentially just looked like a small ruined wall. I used to see a few tourists come to see it and quickly walk away. Credit to Bloomberg for putting it back in its original position and making seeing it a worthwhile experience. The Bloomberg office is worth a visit too - it won the Stirling Prize for architecture in the UK - but it's not open to the general public, although they have hosted some tech talks in there.
