My, how has the City of London's skyline changed...
On that note, which was the tallest skyscrapper in the City prior to Tower 42? Does anyone know?

It was St Paul's Cathedral until it was overtaken in 1963 by the Millbank Tower at 118 metres, which in turn was overtaken by the BT Tower which topped out just one year later in 1964 at 177 metres...It was the first skyscraper I think. Tallest before that was the PO Tower.
This is news to me... So the Thames Clipper services that have always formed part of the TFL network are now being shared (or perhaps taken over) by Uber??

Earlier this the week Uber announced it would be sponsoring Thames Clippers. It's not buying them, it's not calling them U-Boats, it's not making them turn up on demand and it's not stopping anyone else from turning up and using them. It is getting naming rights and adding riverboats to the Uber app. The service's new name will be "Uber Boat by Thames Clippers", a mouthful only upright brandingfolk will employ.
To give an idea of how tall st paul's is, if you go into the vestibule of st michael's in highgate village there's a line on the wall which is the same height as the top of the cathedralIt was St Paul's Cathedral until it was overtaken in 1963 by the Millbank Tower at 118 metres, which in turn was overtaken by the BT Tower which topped out just one year later in 1964 at 177 metres...

I think U-boats would be an ace new name for themI think its just bookable via Uber services looking at the various disclaimers but fuck knows how this works.

I've never been sure that any actual humans really use Cannon Street station.
That is a good fact. I've just looked up the height of St Paul's and the height above sea level of Crystal Palace (my hood) and they are about the same, assuming St P's is not much above sea level.To give an idea of how tall st paul's is, if you go into the vestibule of st michael's in highgate village there's a line on the wall which is the same height as the top of the cathedral
