What is the current height of the building? It looks nearly topped out just a few more panels to go - London needs more Super Towers to compliment the Skyline! Out with the old in with the Finest looking buildings in the world!

Smokin' Hot! The best feature will be how the light plays through the very tip top shards of glass, IMO.

The reflection on the fog is quite a unique and serendipitous enhancement.

That shot of the fella on the winch is an absolute classic - makes my stomach turn just looking at it.

Anecdote;

I e-mailed my old co-worker and asked what does she think about Shard ?

3 weeks later came an answer: " Don't ask me ask mr xxxxxx xxxxxxx !" I said who is mr xxxxxx xxxxxxx ?

5 weeks later came an answer: " He is my husband..he made the contruction plans for it ! "

It is a small world !

Holy ****. It's amazing that the crane carries the construction workers up to the top of the building for work, but in America they build elevators to carry the construction workers up to the top of the building for work. Just amazing.

there is a lift up the side but I don't think it reaches the top.

I had never seen this either... it's kinda nice, I'd like to try. Cool thrill with no danger, it's like much better roller coasters.
