Kick ass skyscraper in London. Impressive beast of a thing.

Anyone close enough to get a more up to date pic?

Hhmm didn't see the construction work flying in to London before christmas and looking at the wikipedia article it should have been tall enough to see. I'm disappointed I missed it.

Im not 1 for channel surfing but if ever i just want to watch tv for a short while i always like the shows where you see how buildings like this are constructed.

Its always fascinating to see how many British + Irish engineers are invloved in these large scale constructions around the world.

Hahaha sharp. I was thinking exactly the same. Funny as London seems to be the city with most CCTV per inhabitant. They even equip police officers with CCTV nowadays.

London could be very well on it's way to becoming the world envisioned in Mirrors Edge. Now where do I find me some hot asian freerunner?
