This is the size of London’s new skyscraper design. If plans for its construction are approved, “The Tulip” will become the tallest building in the City and the second-tallest building in London, after The Shard, which is four metres taller. Designed by architects Foster + Partners, the building is to stand next door to The Gherkin and will be a tourist and educational attraction, as well as office space. If permission is granted, construction will begin in 2020 and could be finished by 2025.
