Heron Tower, London - April 2009

[JamieT96]

I'm glad to see Britain with a cool skyline. It will be a bit like some of America's skylines but only a lot cooler.

Is it done yet? Or are they still working on it?

The website says it will not open until 2011

Excellent! God I cant wait for all these buildings to be complete...

How long until this tops out? and until we start seeing Bishopsgate/leadneedle and the Shard on the scene?

This will top out towards the end of this year. We will finally have One Canada Square overtaken! :)

Shard is under construction and is to start rising towards the end of this year. Bishopsgate Tower will rise next year, and Leadenhall should restart when the downturn ends.
