Like I said the first time I knew about this tower, it will be to London like Eiffel Tower is to France.

It's more like the Empire State Building type of icon for London. Over time it will be remembered as something like that.

I flew over this one today. It was too hazy for a decent photo but I could still see how domineering this tower has become. It is certainly one mighty looking building.
