that's one of the best looking skyscrapers in London, if not, the whole of Europe. It would have looked better if they built it taller.
I like this building, but it is science-fiction architecture. In every photograph it looks like it was photo-montaged in as a computer rendering. It looks like the alien that landed in the middle of the city. Martian architecture.
That's right.
But it didn't change the cityscape as much as I thought it would.
Blimey.
Bloody brilliant.

I think the double bar is permanent for the window washing equipment.Originally Posted by Gulcrapek
I hope it's not.
Wasn't it only used by the construction workers ?
