Mr Gegloma, strange name but brill stuff with those renders. I'm all thumbs with these machines, wish I could do that. Any chance of having the cladding see through on the next ones? What about a ground level shot? Hey, do one of the Heron hotel. One of those where the demo takes longer than the construction. Anywho marvelous.

It just seems obscene that with so many gaps that need filling this building is ramming itself into a a tiny gap and obliterating the Willis building from one side. Feel sorry for all the poor sods who used to look out on 122LH, Aviva, and the Gherkin and will now just be staring at this form very close up.

I love the design. If the square mile is going for a real Skyscraper Cluster, then projects like this one are perfect. Good design, suitable to the environment, financially economical, and its another tower to the cluster!

What I love is that this tower has had barely any fuss, it's made designing and getting authorization for a skyscraper in the middle of a global financial hub look easy.

I just really hope this doesn't end up like the Pinnacle!

After 20 Fenchurch Street, and 122 Leadenhall are finished, London still needs momentum in it's skyscraper building ambitions - i really do believe this tower could be the answer.

I'm told the RBS bank closes next week and demo is imminent.

I share your sentiments. An exciting building but in the wrong place.
