LONDON | Projects & Construction - Page 5

OtAkAw · April 1st, 2006, 03:52 PM

I was so fortunate to catch Globe Trekkers/Lonely Planet at Travel and Living Channel last Friday, they featured LONDON! Oh my goodness, I thought I was going to drop dead! As a kid, I was always fascinated with London(and I thought it was a country then). Now growing up, I discovered Harry Potter and guess what, my obsession with London grew bigger!

It's nice to see alot of new building in London, it's so sad that two great (and evil) events happened in 1666 and 1940, The Two Great Fires, well you know, life's like that and what better way to relive the past than building a great future with cutting edge structures!

These threads arent updated nearly as much as ones in the UK section, If you want to know more check them.

Looks pretty good

Will it be located in the Isle of Dogs?

No no, further east, in a town centre.

British Land have announced that 122 Leadenhall will start in 2007, rarther than the anticipated 2008

Newcastle Guy · April 2nd, 2006, 05:19 PM

that is GREAT news!

London 2007,what will be U/C:

Shard/London Bridge (310m):

Heron Tower (242m):

122 Leadenhall (225m):

Beetham London (220m):

(Will be revised first though)

20 Fenchurch street (190m):

St Georges Wharf (183m):

Multiplex living tower (147m)

Then of course you have what is already U/C Broadgate (164m) and Pan Peninsula (147m), and maybe some others which I'm unsure bout the start (Riverside south etc...)

Jack Rabbit Slim · April 2nd, 2006, 05:38 PM

Fenchurch street tower and Beetham really do have shoddy designs by London's standards, and they need to do something about this! I believe Beetham tower's look is being modified at the moment, so that's a start. The rest of them I love though!!!

Agree...
it would be nice to redesign these buildings

Newcastle Guy · April 3rd, 2006, 04:14 PM

Beetham will be much better soon, and to be honest I really like the front and back of Fenchurch street the only thing I'm unsure of in all of London's proposals is the sides of Fenchurch street

Bump

I've updated the summary on the 1st page.

Jack Rabbit Slim · April 9th, 2006, 02:32 PM

I wish they'd hurry up and approve Bishopsgate tower. I mean, we all know it's gonna get approval, and you know how long skyscrapers take to actually start constuction in London, so the sooner it gets approved, the better!

Marco Polo · April 11th, 2006, 01:45 PM

wjfox2002 - absolutely supreme job!!! thanks

NothingBetterToDo · May 1st, 2006, 03:27 AM

A little rendering i did showing the bigger proposals on the skyline........

jordan · May 1st, 2006, 07:59 AM

Bloody nice!!!

Skyscraperkid2K4 · May 1st, 2006, 08:53 AM

wjfox2002 hurry up and update Bishopsgate towe will ya

Newcastle Guy · May 1st, 2006, 02:32 PM

Very nice! Would broadgate be visible from there?
and also You havent put in Fenchurch, which would probably be taller than T42 from here.

Other than that it is one of the best far distance renders I have seen in a long time!
