Does St. Helen's(Aviva Tower) really have to face its destiny(London again)?
St. Helen's is the International style skyscraper. This building is going to be replaced by 1 Undershaft, but the same fate with 6~8 Bishopsgate.

It's a shame that we're losing one of the few good examples of an International Style tower in the city (possibly the only really good one). But at the same time there are only so many places to build here, and this building hasn't yet been listed for preservation.
