Skyscrapers of the UK

Apologies if I have upset anyone by using renders that they have constructed, if you wish to receive credit for a particular render, please drop me a PM.
Credit for the future skyline image at 1:56 goes to graphic designer Will Fox.
Credit for the 1 Blackfriar's Road image at 0:58, the 122 Leadenhall Street image at 1:11 and the Pinnacle image at 1:49 all go to the Architectural Visualisation company, Cityscape Digital Limited.

This video is just a little throwtogether of images of skyscrapers in the United Kingdom, including those that haven't been built yet...but will be in the next decade or so.

@YoungTrapstarKB There's a lot happening. The Heron Tower is almost externally complete, the spire has been fitted. The Shard is racing up, it's core is around the same height as Guy's Hospital near it. Basement works are going ahead on the Bishopsgate Tower, Riverside South is on hold until JPMorgan make a final decision on whether or not to move in. There's still a few on hold, but there's certainly plenty to get excited about. :)

Some of those have been put on hold. The Leeds twin glass towers are frozen.

[bobdot2000]

Yes, unfortunately that is true. :(

The Leadenhall Building at 1:12 is pretty much frozen too. :(

I know that the Pinnacle is going to be 288metres, and I think the Shard is going to be something like 305metres.

[bobdot2000]

The Shard will be 310m.

Most of these buildings are still under construction, but will look great once up! London is better than NYC!

@YoungTrapstarKB Some are now complete (Heron, Broadgate), some under construction (The Shard, Pinnacle, Leadenhall, Fenchurch and others), the rest haven't started yet. The Shard is nearly finshed and will be the takllesrt building in the EU.

@charles198877 why does everyone think that a skyscraper must be REALLY tall, and possibly challenge the record, in order to be impressive? British Architects are very good, a lot of the stuff in Dubai and Azerbaijan that you see, was made by English Architects. The tallest bridge in the world was also done by a Brit. It's not like they can't make a really tall one, but if they did, it would stick out and would ruin the city's skyline. London is beautiful, it needs to stay that way.
