The Mexile 
Great modernistic picture but it does not look like the current Tower of London.

It is not THE Tower of London, but it is a tower of London. Do I like it? I’m undecided. But I liked this photo.

Ok Gary, I have not been home in a while, and the building is new to me. This particular monstrosity didn’t ” get hit with an ugly stick – it got hit with the whole damn tree!!” Surprised if Charlie didn’t kick up a bit of a fuss over the design! Wow! Is this the one that melts cars?

It is the one that melts cars. And the building is even uglier now that they have hung fabric over the windows to deflect the rays of its Jaguar-melting magic powers. Apparently, the architect missed school when Archimedes and the Roman fleet was the lesson.
The building is nicknamed the “walkie talkie.” That is a kind word for what it looks like.
Sorry, Gary, but you know how I like answering questions — even on others’ blogs.

Answer away Steve! You’re normally (always?!) right, and you’ll probably get around to it quicker than I. I really struggle to write even the occasional post these days, let alone reply to comments in a timely manner.

It’s an intelligent use of space, that much can be said of this tower. By spreading out, the square footage increases the higher up the go, as does the rental values.
But yes, it has had some issues with the sun…!
