Above left and middle: three pictures of One Churchill Place (156m/513f, 32 stories, 2004).
The building was still under construction when the pictures were taken (May 2004),
but topped out and almost completed on the outside.
In the middle picture some work on the higher part of the facade is still going on!
Above right: and two pictures of 10 Upper Bank Street (151m/495f, 32 stories, 2003).
Both buildings are also part of Canary Wharf.


Above left: the world's tallest hospital tower: Guy's Tower (143m/469f, 34 stories, 1974),
and arguably one of London's and the world's ugliest buildings.
This was London's tallest skyscraper for almost six years (1974-1979)
Above middle and right: three pictures of CityPoint (127m/417f, 36 stories, 1967).


Above left: Euston Tower (124m/408f, 36 stories, 1970).
Above middle left: Lauderdale Tower (123m/404f, 43 stories, 1974),
one of three almost identical residential towers. The other two being Shakespeare and Cromwell Tower.
(Shakespeare Tower: 123m/404f, 43 stories, 1976; Cromwell Tower: 123m/404f, 42 stories, 1973)
Above middle: Centre Point (117m/385f, 35 stories, 1967).
Above middle right: 99 Bishopsgate (104m/340f, 26 stories, 1976), seen from 30 St Mary Axe.
Above right: Exchange Tower (100m/328f, 26 stories, 1970), also seen from 30 St Mary Axe.


Above: one of London's most famous buildings, yet not one of its tallest:
the amazing looking The Lloyds building (95m/312f, 14 floors, 1986).
The building is seen here, among others, from the 17th and 32nd floor of 30 St Mary Axe,
and from the back from The Monument.


Above left: not really a skyscraper, but an extraordinary looking one just the same:
London City Hall (45m/148f, 10 stories, 2002).
Above middle and right: again, no skyscraper, but instead one of London's most famous structures
and arguably one of the most beautiful:
St. Stephen's Tower, or better known as the Big Ben (97,5m/320f, 1859).
