Hopefully they knock down more of the shitty 60's architecture around London, there are a lot of eyesores.

London is the best city on earth, Obviously London is the most expensive city on earth, the world's financial capital, higher currency value than any other, absolutely rich in history, heritage, culture, the best education, sports, footballs etc, world's oldest and first underground train system, London Heathrow is the busiest airport in the world, full of natural beauty, polite people, peaceful life etc, too much things to talk ,,, in my opinion, LONDON is the best city on earth..

[TomL1991BFD]

hmmm yeah i see your point lol! but i think Leeds or Manchester just better it slightly...

[lokrenzo]

@ajaaronjoe new york is the most expensive 

[AvatarMarxon90]

@lokrenzo Wrong. Luanda, in Angola, is the most expensive city on Earth. New York, London, or event my country's capital, Lisbon, appears in the top ten. By my "most expensive" term, I mean the cost of living. In my opinion, the best cities in Europe are either in Great Britian (Ireland and UK), Italy, Austria, Greece and the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal, Spain... and perhaps Andorra).

@ajaaronjoe NO NEW YORK IS MOST EXPENSIVE

At 1:09, what is that building is that under construction?

and also at 2:05? or is it at 2:05 a building being demolished?

cheers.

and qualitiy video :D

[skyscrapercityvideos]

1:09 is the Heron Tower, soon to become the tallest skyscraper in the City.

2:05 is a block of student accommodation, being constructed at 100 Middlesex Street. It will be about half as tall as Heron.

Glad you like the vid - I'll be doing more as the towers begin to rise :-)

[kinnane4]

Oh okay cool thanks :D.

So that student block at 2:05, do you have any idea of the name?

sorry to keep asking questions.

thanks.

[skyscrapercityvideos]

I dunno if the building has a name, I just know the address which is 100 Middlesex Street.

[JexPAuk]

We need an update mate!!!:D Cheers.

[mrjay92]

[bobdot2000]

Not until 2013, it will be topped out at the end of 2012.

[seano322]

are they actualy building all that at 6:29 ? on that site and whats the name of the talest 1?

thanks :)

[skyscrapercityvideos]

Yes, those towers are all being built. One or two of them might be delayed a couple of years though. The tallest in that rendering is called The Pinnacle, which will have 63 floors. If you look through my other videos you'll find a video on it.

[VikingWarriorof69]

the tallest is the 87-storey 'Shard' Tower at 6:32 and is being built right now, as i know someone in construction there!

[englishlad01]
