@jnutkensvold I think glass towers look sleek and shiny. Makes the city look newer.

Who owns the Shard?

You know, I just joined King's College London, Guy's campus recently as an undergraduate studying medicine, and this building is being built right next to Guy's hospital. It will look awesome once completed and I consider myself very lucky to be situated in such a lively place.
