Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
You can photograph the interior space of the Bloomberg London during any month.
For similar conditions, visit this place in the middle of the day to get the most natural light.

Field tips

I recommend using a wide-angle lens (14mm) so you can capture the magnificence of the staircase above you.
If you'd like, try using a model. Situate your subject properly so as not to steal the staircase's spotlight, but keep them in the center of the photo so it draws the eye toward the middle of the image.
The spiral staircase gives way to lots of perspectives. Move around and get creative!
