If it's still standing after yesterday I'm mildly relieved.

WW Tyrion do?
Seen pictures of that before and it's fab. I think I have some postcards from the 1938 Empire Exhibition somewhere.
The Atlantic Restaurant was pretty cool too, in a 30s kitsch moderne manner
I've got a couple of postcards of that and a little model made out of bakelite

Not long until it's finished eh? The spire's going up nicely and once the glazing is done, will look awesome

The beauty of the ride
It's definitely losing glass panels from the top, it looks more and more obvious. Anyone know what's going on?

They've decided they don't like it and are going to start all over again

Maybe it was just shielding while work went on internally...

Are you sure you aren't mixing up glass moving further down from top, with top moving further up from glass?

it's the tallest building in europe now isn't it? why then, doesn't it look so massive? is it the shape of it? every time i pass i think how small it looks and how it can't possibly be that tall. the heron tower is shorter yet for some reason looks much bigger.

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
I think in recent days it has suddenly started to look really tall.

I look at it though binoculars fairly regularly and the singular absence of people working on theat exposed metal frame at the top that has been the most noticable thing for the last two weeks. The crane is certainly in the same position it was 3 days ago.

All the exterior glazing up to that point has to go on first.

I think it's topped out. The glass will create the "spire".

The 'spire' part will still have a metal frame, just not the heavy-duty bit.
Here's the spire pre-constructed before the parts were taken to site:
At the moment, the bottom three levels of this structure are in place.

It looked really cool a few days ago as the top part of it looked like it was shrouded in fog.

ah yes, but that is 2011 November fog taken from close up. This was 2012 fog from a distance
Actually, it wasn't fog, I think it was just the way the weather was coming in
