	Shard London Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	The Philadelphia Experiment
		Rebecca Washington, 30-year resident of Southwark and longtime leader of its tenant council, shuffled along quietly but purposefully with the aid of a cane, nodding and "mm-hmm"-ing at the running commentary provided by Alan Hunter, the burly bearded man at her side.
		Southwark's leaders were aware of this perception, of course, and resented the implications.
		Southwark residents approved — at that point, they were desperate to see any kind of change.

		London Bridge Tower, a 600 million pound (US$950 million) development to be constructed on the site of 1970s office block Southwark Towers, would be built by 2005 and become the world's sixth tallest building if the planning application is accepted.
		But Southwark Council, while supporting the project in principle, said specific issues such as the impact on background views of nearby St Paul's cathedral would need to be fully considered when the formal planning application was submitted.
		Sellar said construction of the tower is likely to cost around 200 million pounds, to be financed through a mixture of equity and bank loans, adding the company had no plans for a stock market flotation.

		There had been no time in Southwark to look at the detailed reports sent in by the local authorities, and once they were on the road Quaestor Provyn had made it clear that digging them out of the pack train would be far too much of an inconvenience.
