i've always liked this building, i like its unique design - how it matches the logo of Natwest when viewed from above.  its amazing it is still the tallest Cantilevered building in the world!

i was lucky enough as a student to be allowed up to the top floor champagne bar to photograph the views while it was being cleaned,.

this along with the Gherkin, will soon be dwarfed though by much taller buildings in the City.

@edgea09 Too good looking to reclad.

Guy's Hospital, that either needs to be reclad (only if the recladding proposal is good quality) or given a good scrub and anti-particle coating.

@drapesy84 Like the Pinnacle and Shard. (^_^)

It'll still be an important piece of archectecture in London though, very good design.

@drapesy84 - what they should do is make it higher by adding another 10 stories or so and get rid of the unsightly black bit at the top and maybe add a spire or antenna as well. This would give it a new lease of life so it could hold its own in the future...

It would be cool if it was reclad.
