Where those first photos on this page taken from the Stone Gallery of St Pauls Cathedral, looks like it as the chimney of Tate Modern is straight on? This building is going to a tremendous addition to London's skyline. I can't wait to see the crown rising. There was lots of activity at ground level yesterday when I passed, perhaps we'll see some cladding very soon!

yep - from the stone gallery - the golden gallery is closed at the moment.

poshbakerloo · December 7th, 2008, 04:50 PM

wow this building looks good!I think it will fit in well.

twilight_2008 · December 7th, 2008, 08:41 PM

Seems this is going to have quite an impact, never realized it 'til now.

Yes - especially with binoculars - which is what you'll need to have a view like that.

not really its only just over a mile away from st.pauls, it will be very visible I think - if you take in to account the heron tower is nearly 2 miles away from Waterloo bridge - a view considered to now be destroyed by EH.

a more realistic view not using zoom

viva la Brookfield. I itching for the cladding to appear. Only then will our journey towards the Dark Side be complete.

***Medo*** · December 10th, 2008, 05:41 PM

This will be a tower worthy of Mordor.

twilight_2008 · December 10th, 2008, 06:20 PM

Ooh! Liking it, only Baradur is 1 mile high, so not quite the same but still good.

Mr Bricks · December 10th, 2008, 06:36 PM

^Baradur is one mile high??

mulattokid · December 10th, 2008, 08:13 PM

Looks like Mr Trousersnake to me!

An absolute stunner of a tower, Britain really is getting some real beauties in terms of skyscrapers. Just as long as EH don't suddenly force a public enquiry because the tower slightly obscures a view of St. Paul's Cathedral from the entrance of the nearest Tesco. Although, if this were to happen, we could just build the damn thing and chuck the EH people into the wind turbines...
