I first posted this on here years ago. I'm finally seeing it from the View part tomorrow.[img]http://thumbsnap. com/i/fSU7sAXy.jpg[/img]
In fact incredible to see how it has changed since 1970, in that time the station has been rebuild twice and a tower block has been built where The Shard now is and demolished. https://twitter.com/NetworkRailLBG/status/73071507...
As you say, it's amazing how the whole are has changed. I was trying to place the old bits whilst stood at the foot of the Shard.

The Gruniad is reporting that many apartments are still unsold. Worth a cheeky bid?
High living, low sales: Shard apartments still empty, five years on
From reading that article, they're happy to have sold none, lest they set a low price now as the benchmark. They're waiting for an upturn...High living, low sales: Shard apartments still empty, five years on

Yes, it is still an unfinished abomination, a blight on the landscape. I wonder how much cabbage changed hands to get the PP through for this thing.
I agree. As I said before, I reckon it will be gone, or radically changed, within 25 years.22 Bishopsgate is looking quite interesting. It's had a tortured past (I believe it used to be the Pinnacle Tower, aka the Helter Skelter, before a market crash and a redesign), but it looks like it's going up quickly now.

Quite amazing picture, of the first light of day bouncing off the Shard. Taken from the Air Traffic Control Tower at Heathrow:
