The Bishops Gate Tower, London

July 23rd 2006 23:19

At 307 m, the proposed Bishops Gate Tower in London will be the brother of the Shard Glass, at nearby London Bridge, which will be Europe's tallest at 310 m. It is set to have about 60 floors. The first three floors of the building will be publicly accessible, and a restaurant on the 43rd floor would be London's highest public vantage point. Offices will be spread across 52 floors, with levels 3 to 9 encompassing financial trading floors. The eco-friendly, 'snake-skin' design is intended to maxmise the use of natural light and reduce the dependence on electric lighting.


London's bridge won't be falling down by the looks of such developments!
