i hate the recent trend for new canary wharf buildings to look worse than the crap built in the 1970's and 80's.

They look cheap, very dated, and very ugly.

Definitely the worst tower in Canary Wharf. The only noteworthy feature is its height.

5/10

Bad cladding, boxy, will look dated quickly, very poor 6/10

i think the fact its tall is even worse...............it makes its uglyness stand out even more and makes it harder to hide

I just think in years to come we might look on this tower as we do 60's council flat blocks, worst in CW! 6/10

It mings, the worst building on the estate (worst of all it wasnt cheap either) and makes me glad they now have to properly apply for planning permission for their buildings now. 4/10
