I can't wait for the Boomerang to rise,its shape is fantastic!I'm a "frog"& I'm fond of LDN.

Just got back from LDN,HT has risen a lot since may!Will it be lit in a special way at night?

So which is best Canary Wharf or the City of London...

[robostairs]

Canary Wharf is at present, but by 2012 the City will reclaim the crown

[retronostalgic]

You never know canary wharf might hit back with some great new towers. Personally i like the rivalry and competition between the two. It's just a shame CW is so far out of the way though...

I don't think i'll ever get over Leadenhall building not being built!!!!!!!

It was the one single building in London (except for pinnacle) I ultimately wanted to get built. It was the Only building what actually added colour to the city- EXACTLY what the city needs- life!!

It would do well in Canary wharf actually- take away the boring grey box like image- but not so unique it wouldnt have fitted in. Same with Heron come to think of it.

Sorry to spam up the video. Cant wait for Heron!! :P

Leadenhall WILL be built, the recession is just holding it up! :)

[kinnane4]

don't count on it lol.

Broadgate is like half full at the moment, so building yet another office building is pointless.

By the time they wanna carry on construction they'l prob have to re-submit planning permission, and with Boris Johnson the mayor and not Ken any more, the chances of him approving a fat off skyscraper is LOW. It'l prob get replaced by a shitty groundscraper like St Boltophs.

And because iv'e said all that, hopefully i'll jynx myself and it WILL get built haha :P.

[funkydelicman]

it is being built its just delayed

[Lord6of9Uk]

[skyscrapercityvideos]

Yep, I'll be doing a new video in the next couple of weeks. It should start to become visible from Waterloo Bridge soon as well :-)

[Lord6of9Uk]
