Standing on London Bridge platform almost daily, I have wondered if the tower cranes were straight that are alongside The Shard. Looking at this footage only confirms that they aren't and go through big strain flexes with different loads. I suppose if they were rigid they'd snap!
Update: The core has started moving again in the past week, having sat at floor 37 for a month or so whilst they built the steel work around it. Currently it's at about floor 44 and rising by the day.
I walk past Shard every day to work.If the core is only at floor 34/35 then it still has to double in height. Given how big it is already, the building is going to be a monster and dominate the sky line. Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Gherkin, London Eye all iconic...think we have to add Shard to that list.
@fabs1979 I Work At the London Borough of Southwark, The Shard of Glass London Bridge Tower is Going to be way Taller than Canary warf Tower so this should be seen from anywhere around London and Beyond. Great Project.
Core is currently up at floor 34/35. Steel work now around floor 20. They have started to glaze the lower floors. Amazing project. Will post some updated video shortly if it comes out ok. Any ideas for a relevant backing track ?

@Vec777 I've timelapsed them over the course of this afternoon and it's amazing how much they move. I reckon it must be a few feet at the top.
