I am not one for praising big city buildings but the one they are building near London Bridge Railway Station just over the Thames in South London is something to wonder. It is being built on land that is no larger in size than the actual building footprint and it is tall and getting taller. I stood watching the construction on a busy working day and what stood out was the ingenious way they have overcome the limited site of the site so they can operate cranes, external lifts and store and use the normal building site paraphernalia.
The building looks like a radical design and I will try to get some more pics as it progresses and reaches completion. What a project this building is. Designed by Renzo Piano when it is finished it will be the tallest building within the EU.
The Guardian newspaper is concerned that when it is built there will not be many places for bicycles.

| Shot from a moving bus As far as I know the first building of this size and design built in South London, stuff like this is normally only built in the City.
I have a bit more about this on my page on this Blogspot "Me and stuff and pics of South London"
