A giant skyscraper which some claim is shaped like a dildo has received planning approval despite concerns it will ruin the skyline of London.
The Tulip, 305 meter high structure, will become western Europe’s second tallest building after the Shard.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, told the London Evening Standard: “This building – a lift shaft with a bulge on top – would damage the very thing its developers claim they will deliver – tourism and views of London’s extraordinary heritage.”
The fact that the building was approved is no surprise given how glassy steel monstrosities have swallowed up our once beautiful skylines.
