The Tower of All Hallows Staining, built in 1320, now sits on a set of columns while foundations are laid for a new skyscraper.

  7. I wonder how they are dealing with the human remains they will inevitably uncover?

    In Australia, indigenous burial sites are sacred and trying to build on them is very controversial. We’re a lot less sensitive about relocating human remains here in Britain . Maybe this explains the some of the friction that frequently occurs in Australian development projects.

  11. This is a really interesting building site to watch. The rooftop viewing terrace and garden next to it at 120 Fenchurch Street – about 20 floors up – is free, with no booking required, and you can watch loads of activity going on way below – loads of machinery, hundreds of people at work, and a constant stream of trucks in and out of the site. For geeks, it is well worth a detour!

  12. What are the big white cross poles for? Subsidence supports?

  14. City of London truly feels like sardines packed into a vertical can

  17. Its pretty impressive engineering, in what they are doing.
    I’m glad they are trying to preserve it all.
    It looks scary unstable, though I’m sure it super safe.

  18. Please can someone explain to me why the City needs more skyscrapers?

  19. Looks like when you reach modern age before your allies in rise of nations

  20. looking at what they’re planning this is disgustingly disrespectful to our history

  21. Is it still available to visit now or is it closed off until works are completed
