	Heron Tower / 110 Bishopsgate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The site off Bishopsgate is one of the few that has little problem with the protected sightlines towards St Pauls that cut the City into slices so realising this makes it ripe for another skyscraper thanks to the seeming precedent Swiss Re had set.

		The tallest portion of the tower, the area around the spire is positioned as to not cause much visual disturbance on the views from Waterloo looking towards the City so it should appear behind Tower 42.

		The glittering computer-generated images of the new Bishopsgate tower, a whopping 1,020 feet high, now going through the planning system, provide a jaw-dropping and disturbing glimpse of what London is on the verge of becoming.
		The tower's top is unravelling in a spiralling curve, and its shaft is apparently on the verge of crashing into the emphatic 45-degree slope of the neighbouring wedge-shaped tower designed by Richard Rogers on one side, and the Heron tower, also designed by KPF on the other.
		The second cluster aligned on Bishopsgate, is emerging to the accompaniment of a lot of pseudo-scientific post rationalisation.

		The tower's lowest three storeys would house an arcade running through the building that would be open to the public.

		Origingal plans were for a 590 feet tower but after Mayor Ken Livingstone jokingly said to 'go back and make it bigger' they increased the height to the round figure of 600 feet, thats 183m.
