Demolition on LBT has almost finished.

A brief mention in this evening's London Paper -

I am a bit worried as well considering the times we're in.
It would suck to get all of these buildings canceled,
or all of the planned supertalls in Western Europe.

Great news, that.

New renderings of North Quay (3 towers of 221m/209m/120m). These are approved, btw -

Swede · #9 Posted **Mar 16, 2009, 7:47 PM**

Nothing spectacular architecture-wise. Not spectacular but still very nice, I like that look. They'll really help bulk out the CW skyline.

Heron is beginning to rise above the surrounding buildings. These are by Rickster2K on SSC -

Heron is growing fast! I can't wait to see it rise above all other towers in the City.

Swede · #14 Posted **Mar 28, 2009, 8:31 AM**

I love the mix of modern skyscrapers and old lowrises.

This rendering shows plans for a possible recladding of Guys Hospital (regularly voted London's ugliest building) -

i took this from the Monument

Heron is tall enough to be a midrise now... yet still barely a quarter of the way up.

These pics are by DarJoLe from SSC:

Another update from chest. This is taken from Whitechapel. Heron must be almost 100m tall now:

I doubt this will show up on the left-loving Skyscraper Biased News, the site that banned me for daring to defend Boris.

Boris Johnson can expect a frosty reception from some residents when he comes to town this month.

The London Mayor, who will visit Croydon on July 22, approved plans or a huge development in Cherry Orchard Road, Addiscombe.

Now residents and Labour councillors are planning a mass protest against his lack of intervention.

Sean Fitzsimons, of the Addiscombe Labour Party, said: “If we want to build an economic road to recovery in Croydon it won't be achieved by building fancy skycrapers no-one will fund, or have the money to buy.

“Cherry Orchard Road and East Croydon station need regenerating now, not in 10 years time. Boris needs to show he is a Mayor who listens to residents and isn’t in the thrall of developers or skyscraper fixated Tory councillors.”
