Blimey, the shard and the eiffel tower in the same shot!

Ok, ok... it's the Cyrstal Palace transmitter.

I've got such huge reservations about this one . . . it's such a hulking moster

Supertall Robbo · December 5th, 2011, 06:07 PM

the way i see it is that it will help block guys hospital from london bridge

scalatrava89 · December 5th, 2011, 06:32 PM

Just look at it like a bigger version the 'the backpack'. Because that's pretty much what it is. It's going to balance out the Shard and also help settle it in. No one should have reservations with this build.

definitely and when Guys is reclad, where it can be seen, it will become a neutralised anonymous part of the background, no longer malevolent....

Looking at No Expert's photo's I was struck by this gem.
Anyone know anything about the history of this little shop? I do hope the facade gets a clean as part of the overhaul of the area.

Basement excavation still proceeding

The complexity of this building structure, needed to avoid half a dozen columns at ground level and cantilever, is quite awesome.
The pity is that very few people will realise or even appreciate it when is finished.

There certainly isn´t any value engineering involved here.

It is similar to the last 20 floors of the shard: the developer does´t get any profit from such complex and expensive structure; it is like a present to the city.

Why doen´t anybody mention these things?
