It begs the question is there really any need for such a bold lighting scheme on this elevation of Heron when it's going to have this slap bang next door.

Walked past this morning - will try and grab pics at lunch - now down to ground floor!

I read the Evening Standard yesterday on the train and they picked up on the fact SSC has yet to give this a nickname. They even suggested one for us, 'the whopper', due to its much wider profile than other city towers.

wow, that was an efficient demolition job!

Skrapadude · October 4th, 2011, 03:48 PM

very impressive job done there, ground works for the tower can't be too far away now.

AUTOTHRILL · October 4th, 2011, 07:14 PM

What's really interesting about the City is how when these buildings are demolished there's even more crap ending up exposed.

chrissyb · October 5th, 2011, 10:51 AM

Very true - at least we have the Gherkin in that shot that looks fantastic...

Core Rising · October 5th, 2011, 11:07 AM

I like St Helens. Surely I can't be the only one!

Yeah, its no Seagram building, but in some lights it looks pretty good for the international style

Good point. The Herons lighting scheme is best viewed from afar, when 100BG is complete it will block out most of the South face. Better make the most of it then.

Hmm nicknames… how about The Block or Stumpy Joe

I think it is every bit at good as the Seagram building. Just wish it was that bit taller!

I believe it is. Here's a comparison;

This building gives the church to its right the respectful breathing space it deserves whilst simultaneously annihilating an entire street of post-war dross! perfect! (there is so much post modern crap in the surrounding area - I'm hoping for more skyscrapers to bring change for the better..)
