Maisie Williams came with her Daisie app cofounder Dom Santry.

Guests including journalist Carole Cadwalladr climbed the stairs to the top of The Gherkin.

The setting was pretty spectacular, and guests were served drinks from an old vintage motorcycle.

And if the bubbly wasn't enough to make guests dizzy, some tried walking off a plank in VR.

The Tech 100 list was up in lights.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan came 40th on the list, and gave a speech.

He made a joke at Prime Minister Theresa May's expense: "We have had over the last 12 months this amazing technology which is an entire prime minister's speech being delivered by a robot and nobody notices."
