    Get it built! Personally I think it will add majesty to the skyline, there is nothing like it anywhere in the world! Hopefully Sadique Khan will be gone soon, he has been useless for London on every level.

      The mayor of the City of London is William Russell not Sadiq Kahn my friend. Different jurisdiction in the square mile than London proper. Its a weird system for a bunch of historical reasons, but I think you've blamed the wrong guy here :)

    If they wants to build the tulip, they should build them next to the BT tower?

      I agree. The BT Tower and the Tulip Tower have a thin majestic look and it will bring next to it. Plus the BT Tower has been alone for nearly 60 years

    I personally am pro-skyscrapers in London, I have nothing against historic area's and buildings but people need to realise that buildings gain and loose Importance, and if we try to focus to much on showing of and protecting "history" we are gonna get left behind by other modern cities that are willing to take the step to advance. Plus London compared to some other cities doesn't have that many skyscrapers planned for the near future so, people that are anti-London skyscrapers don't have that much to be worried about.I would personally really like to see London step into the 450 meter range I think it would resonable for both sides. I would suggest putting it near a major station such as Waterloo.........? Also these skyscrapers would actually provide good views of "historical buildings"😂

      Is it that people are opposed to skyscrapers, or are they opposed to skyscrapers that look like toasters, cheese graters or personal toys? Honestly, the fad is already looking dated and won't age well.

      @@armani_1515 Yeah, I mean that if you look at London, it is full of buildings made of glass and steel and one is taller than the other etc. All these buildings overwhelm the city and the only places anyone wants to be in London are the old and beautiful buildings, like Parliament and St Paul’s. This ugly building will hardly be any change, there are already so many buildings Londoners hate (the WalkieTalkie, the ButtPlug etc.)

      @markfoster7949 3 роки тому +3

      1500 meters is way to tall for London so it won't suit London, but I wish they would just build 400 meters skyscraper and that would make London looks great, I would be happy if they build them, plus they really needs to move that city airport out or close them down? I mean who needs them when you have 5 other airports west of London.

    Yes, certainly would make the skyline look even more like Dubai, if London's goal is to imitate Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Just a word of caution; novelty shaped buildings are already looking passé, and you will be stuck with them a very, very long time.

    I think it really is a HORRIBLE structure that has to be blocked no matter what.
    It will create a huge damage to the already growing city skyline with a tacky design that will be out-of-date very quick.
    The city is a world class financial hub, not an amusement park.
    I really hope this NEVER comes to reality.
