nobody in london complains because the height of the new buildings planned in london and the plane routes?

^ Ha, London must be the Nimby capital of the world. Practically every new skyscraper goes to a public inquiry or gets a redesign/height reduction.

Btw, my video is available on YouTube as well -

Oh, nothing special. Just a 15-storey office block -

It's quite sad though, because they originally planned this 700-footer. Financial difficulties meant they had to scale it down drastically...

That is a shame. But the building still looks quite nice. Looking at the larger plan, I don't know if it would have worked so well in that part of London. It doesn't have that little bit of whimsical that seems to characterize The City's skyscrapers.
