  • The Tulip, a planned 305m skyscraper in London's Central Business District, would have been London's second tallest building. Designed by Foster + Partners, the tower was to serve as a 360 degree observation towers for tourists. The Tulip was to feature glass skybridges, glass gondola rides and glass pods seating. The tower was rejected by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, after being initially approved by the city's Planning and Transportation Committee. The Tulip would definitely have counted as one of the world's most peculiar skyscrapers.

    The Tulip is a highly controversial tower that was planned for London’s CBD. What do you think about the tower and it’s rejection?

      Defo not a business district build. Change the architecture slightly and it could fit alongside the Shard. Obviously dependant on ground conditions...I would call it the Mushroom.

    Seems pointless with it having little utility and with the building height limits due to London city airport.
    So in a few years its single purpose will be pointless as all new towers will be at the tulips height.
    I say get rid of London city airport so we can see some really cool looking buildings!

    Thank you to Foster + Partners applying my concept to design such an amazing Skyscraper ~ London Tulip Tower!! @Here, I would like to change its name to London Full Lips Tower!! Because I don't know Arab got building named as Tulip Tower (a few Apartment and Hotel building also named as Tulip), I shouldn't give the same name!! It is unique and beautiful and pleasant and charming!! I like it every much, put besides the Egg Skyscraper as a set is truly lovely!! @Someone approved, and someone reject, it is really hard for make decision!! How if extend the Standbody broder than "the upper -egg with three full lips? I (Original Elizabeth -queen of England / Spykids movie's Carmen.) don't mind to bare more cost for make our dreams come true!! Mayor Khan don't need to boarder about it's benefits, I am the landlord, and will setup my company branches inside this London Full Lips Tower. Any comments, welcome!!

    I've never to this day understood why the mayor of London doesn't want this building to be built in the city. It'll make a tremendous and beautiful edition to the London skyline, especially next to the Gherkin as well. And what is this music in this video, I like it.
