Makes a very nice compliment to Tower 42. From that angle, it's like a fraternal twin.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This is a great looking tower. Very dynamic, but classy. Looks like someone was in the vicinity of Dirty Dick's Pub. Did you stop in for a pint?

in all honesty i really think this tower was under designed, the bracing looks a little too bold for my taste. which in my opinion makes it look tacky.

Though i will say the facade and cladding is beautiful.

i don't care how many people think this tower is bland! this is such a classy tower, and the boxyness actually works well with that spire.

i will say it looks too grey from a distance, but from upclose it's quality is top-notch.

Every side is so different. This design is confusing. I'm still wondering what feature will be the signature of this tower.

I'm no fan of this building, it looks too clunky and awkward, London deserves better imo.
