London's 'Shard of Glass' skyscraper

And this is the site everyone down there gets to enjoy in the meantime

Lived five minutes away from the site when I was down there and I reckon it's just going to stick out like a sore thumb when it's finished.

Guy's hospital (the building to the left in that picture) is already massive when walking past it, compared to the rest of the buildings in the area anyway, so I can't even imagine how big this is going to look.

 

I'm sure it'll be really enjoyable having thousands of tourists around the area all the time too.

Aha, Alain Robert. I don't like using the word a great deal, but I'd use it for him - that guy is awesome!
