@bluvslou Its gonna be the tallest in the European Union. And Britain will also have the second tallest in the European Union (The pinnacle). And as for the Burj Dubai, its just stupid. Its a horrible design and the layout of Dubais buildings are so clumsy and just lacks character. I would rather this building.

Although it is not the one of the tallest in the world, Londoners and people of briatain should celebrate the magnificent design and structure of the greatest skyscraper ever constructed!

i luv london;)

Is this skyscraper going to be completed in Late 2011 Early 2012? Or any other date please reply

Those of you who prefer the Burj are delusional. Can you imagine plonking that ghastly beast in the middle of London? It would look absolutely awful. Even worse than in looks in Dubai. London builds its buildings on practicality and classy appearance.
It may suit the Arab Sheiks to build gaudy buildings just to show off, but that is certainly not the English way, is it?

Come on the Burj is much better,cant belive your even comparing. Its nice to build a bit taller here.Weve been too conservative,boring.Shards a good start.

@bluvslou
It's all about context.
The Shard won't be among the world's tallest, but with such a prominent location, and in terms of design quality, it will rank up there with the best of them - Chrysler Building, Bank of China Tower, etc.
I think most people on the SkyscraperCity forums would agree with me (even non-Brits).
