Everyone thinks London’s new £800m skyscraper looks very rude indeed from the air
It may be costing close to a billion pounds but London’s newest skyscraper is set to be something of an embarrassment for the designers.
Critics of the £800m Spire London building, that is set to dominate the capital’s skyline when it is built in London’s docklands, say that it looks like male genitalia when viewed from above.

And with the 67-storey skyscraper - set to be the tallest residential building in western Europe - located close to City Airport, countless commuters will see the unfortunate shape when flying into London.
Website Londonist said of these air passengers: “If they are as infantile as us, they will see a massive dong.”

Spire London will stand at a staggering 771ft upon completion in 2020 - more than 150ft taller than St George Wharf Tower, the current tallest residential building in the capital.
Anyone lucky (and rich) enough to be able to afford a home there can look forward to dancing fountains at the entrance, luxury interiors, a concierge and a choice of nine lifts to get them to their front door.
