Macaroons and gherkins

It takes a lot to daunt Loan Ranger, but the view from Société Générale’s dining room did its best on the occasion of our meeting with Damien Lamoril and Ignacio Blasco. SG’s Tower Hill offices are perfectly placed to look over the City’s greatest examples of unbridled masculine architecture. The historic military clout of the Tower of London is inescapable from the top floor view, as is the highly suggestive Gherkin.
