Oh come on, it's not that bad. I can think of far worse buildings in London.

I'm sure you can but this is poor for what many people think of London. It would fit nicely into Manchester though

Looks nice on the "skyline", crappier on closer inspection. 6/10

If only that support pillar wasnt there so it had a proper overhang. It would look so much better.

I very much like him. When there are strong gales, these are there terrible winds. How many times for me the hat fell into the Thames. I like the dissimilarity of this building. I like these steps and the refuge he is giving which. From the beginning he was exceptional. I am greeting.

I like this building and the presence it has, it is noticeable and looks wonderfully 1980's. Plus, it reminds me of the world financial centre in new york, 7/10.

not bad at all, quite like it in fact. as mentioned above would look a lot better without that pillar, but still think it looks ok

Not yeah, men. You gave too few points.

I am greeting.

And where is my hat? Could someone see the black hat?
