The monster begins to tower above everything around...



The glass instalation continues to be very impressive. The total cost of the external glass alone was in excess of £60 million at £1k per sq metre - Info from here: http://www.bdonline.co.uk/buildings/technical/clad...





As it passes Guys hospital...we're gonna need another webcam...

i guess the bits inside the immediate glass will be office space - whats inside the tower in the middle - lifts?

lift and service core

what you see being constructed now are the floor plates

The core is due to shrink in width anytime now.

ETA: It'll shrink at level 52 looking at the diagram posted on the previous page and an an infinity pool is going in on that floor as well.

So is the core now thinner than it has been so far?

As the finished building tapers so must the core. This is the first and only set-back though

I thought there is another step back?

You are indeed correct sir - at level 53 there will be one last step back before the final push to the top. Sorry, my bad.
