Indeed. I’ll be getting another video soon!
It’s changed a lot since this was filmed – the structure is rising now.
well Heron Tower and BishopsGate Tower are going up in Bishopsgate/Central London, thats for sure!
not for a while though unfortunately, with the reccession, oversupply of space (consequently produced from the reccession) and height limits, either from protected views of listed buildings (St paul’s being the culprit in london) and aeroplane flight paths..
They may spring up in places like Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds but not for a couple of decades at least..
Hopefully you (and he) are right.
