It would be good to enable users to use such avatar at ssc.
I like this avatar.

It should be built by 2011/2012. For more information, see the official website:

Fantastic rendering... thanks for posting London Lad.

Kinda unrelated, but here's a London Banner I made... its called 'Zooming In London' (because it shows our landmarks close up). I'll submit it when all this stop-start business is sorted out:

This was the last one I made if anyone remembers it:

Very nice. Both of them. I would suggest that you zoom in even more on St. Paul's and perhaps move slightly down on the Picadilly Circus advertisments.

That looks fucking brilliant South. We'll definitely use that one.

jef · #**106** Posted **Sep 30, 2006, 11:38 PM**

you mean the first one? Yes, great. But I am not too sure about Nelson.

I've lost over 10,000 posts on SSC, but I'm actually quite glad!

My post count was starting to get ridiculously high.

Ooh no Jef, I think the London Underground sign, Nelson and Big Ben look best.

Mega density -

Rambaldi · #**110** Posted **Oct 1, 2006, 4:58 PM**

Great, it doesn't look bad at all without Minerva

jef · #**111** Posted **Oct 1, 2006, 6:12 PM**

True.

jef · #**112** Posted **Oct 2, 2006, 7:31 PM**

I don't know what is going on with ssc but it is down again. I am getting really pissed off.

In the news today:

- Demolition is about to start at 22 Marsh Wall - Canary Wharf. Gregory Demolition has been awarded the contract.

- Shell appoints Foster to draw up South Bank multi-million sq ft tower plans

jef · #**113** Posted **Oct 4, 2006, 4:12 PM**

Demolition works at 22 Marsh Wall were anticipated to begin on 25th September.

So I presumed they have now started?

Im still not happy with the 288m Bishopsgate Tower height that tower doesn't look right and needs to be a little taller this is a mistake they are going to regret when finished and why bother recladding the exchange tower that towers better of being demolish.They also need to do something to the ugly bridges over the Thames this does not look good for London with the olympics coming up.

wjfox2004 · #**115** Posted **Oct 10, 2006, 1:05 PM**

Galliard Homes have started marketing their Vision 20 tower. Construction should be starting soon.

Leadenhall:

Broadgate 2020:

wjfox2004 · #**117** Posted **Oct 10, 2006, 3:47 PM**

Jesus wept... that Leadenhall rendering is the best London rendering I've EVER seen. I've nearly wet myself.

jef · #**118** Posted **Oct 10, 2006, 3:56 PM**

Imagine, Will, all the buildings coloured in red are likely to be turned into high-rises.

And reg. Leadenhall, less than 3 months to go.

Surely not, as they would impact upon St Paul's?

Yep, demolition is very close now. But it's still a speculative build...

BL said that "narrowing of view corridors will offer increased future redevelopment potential ... with uplift of over 1.2m sqft". They are in a master-planning exercise to examine long-term future potential to increase density (as is: 7-13 floors and gross plot ratio of 5:1).
