Its about 2.20pm by the time you've suited up, chatted with the team and finished your laps of central london and the Gridguide HQ. You've spent a couple of hours observing, driving around and making walk-arounds as a pedestrian, checking out infil/exfil routes and on-site security.
Your drive-bys give you an idea of possible escape routes;
1) Main roads- Busy during day time, hell in the rush hour, clear at night. 25-35 minute drive in clear traffic back to east end. Bike would be better than car as no parking nearby.
2) Undergound- any one of about 4 central stations are within a short walk/run. Underground service stops at 11.30pm, but begins at 05.30.
3) River- You could feasibly make an exit through the city centre and onto the river, within 5 minutes drive you could be at any one of 3 private jetties.
Your walk into the central mile is relatively pleasant. the drizzle and smog of last night has cleared into a patchy sunshine, while still cold, your longcoat easily keeps you warm.
The streets are clean and your fake SiN keeps you out of trouble.
You find the building with no issues whatsoever, it is a large glass and steel modern building, with a large glass atrium dominating the main entrance.
The left side of the building is bare except for one entrance to an underground car-park. your pass-by spots a swipe-card access control for the gate.
Inside the large atrium you can make out several guards manning a search station. MAD scanners can be seen just inside each of the main entrance doors and are crewed by two guards, one by each scanner.
At street distance it's hard to spot any internal cameras, but with the place so well protected, its almost a given that there will be some.
The rear of the atrium is dominated by an impressive reception desk and internal glass elevators leading to the upper floors, staffed with another guard and what you assume to be admin staff.
a pair of large doors can be seen either side of the reception desk for ground floor access.
A large and patrolled rear gate controls access to the rear service area. Access for pedestrians is granted via intercom and some kind of biometric scan via a small gate, and you can make out a small guard post on the far side of the larger vehicle gate to check incoming traffic.
The service area is protected by a large wall, roughly 6 foot high and you can make out at least one camera covering the gates.
//Gridguide HQ? jesus, you're hitting the big leagues now haha, not got any insiders there to my knowledge. That's a hell of a target to hit, be careful mate, can't be losing my whipping-boy 8 ball partner ;-)

By the time you've done all your searches, recon, talked to your contacts, rested up, eaten and gotten clean its about 2-2.30pm.
