Sorry, I did'nt mean to link directly to the cams, I only wanted that one image and I didnt realize till now.... but it was a great red sky thought.

Anyway how would I just get that one image if I did it again? Anyone know

To be fair, that pic of it behind St Pauls isn't taken directly from Waterloo Bridge...but I'm still concerned that EH could use this as an impetus to block future development in this area. My only hope is that the silver cladding will make it somewhat 'lighter' on the skyline and blend somewhat with the cathedral.

Take a Southern train from London Bridge. It's the 4th stop, only takes about 15 mins.

twas a beautiful day today, and after seeing Tergat and this leading pack of men motor down Lower Thames Street, it was off to see the Beast of Broadgate:

From Finsbury Square

Cladding replicating the diagonal crossbracing - looks good IMO

cheeky pint on a bench in the Light Bar on Shoreditch High Street, and Broadgate looms over you. I've mentioned this before, but this be a perfect post-work beer stop for a look at the monster. Anyone keen? I do have normal friends, but they get tremdously bored in this bar as all I do is bang on about steelwork, cranes and the merits of anodized cladding!

cylon6 · April 22nd, 2007, 08:05 PM

EXCELLENT PHOTOS!
This building is going to be a beauty!

rickster2k · April 22nd, 2007, 08:26 PM

Cladding is looking sublime. Where's Dangermouse for that final photo.

and-r · April 22nd, 2007, 09:02 PM

the curved corner of the midrise building is my favourite bit. the cladding is absolutely stunning

***Medo*** · April 22nd, 2007, 09:10 PM

Great update jimbo, love the cladding so far.

That's actually not as bad as I'd imagined.

Unilever House is far, far worse in terms of its impact on St Paul's.

At least with Broadgate, it's behind the cathedral rather than directly in front!!

mulattokid · April 23rd, 2007, 01:08 PM

^ if the south bank complex had ivy plants hanging over the terraces it would look fantastic! Problem solved.

I had my doubts about this building's cladding and positioning of plants and suchlike, but now the glass and steel is actually going up, I think its going to be a quality addition...and yes I shall have a go at a render soon!!
