20 Fenchurch Street

London, England

A new building under construction towers over older, long established offices. Offically called 20 Fenchurch Street but, due to its unusual shape, it is nicknamed the "Walkie-Talkie". When completed in 2014 it will be 525 feet/160 m in height with 37 stories. The top 3 stories will be a botanical garden with bars and restaurants!

I thought it was probably a device for evaluating lens distortion

John, this image has such fantastic framing. The cuves of the old building and then the newer building that seems to have a curve. Excellent POV. Well done. V.

Interesting building well photographed with this perspective and the inclusion of the buildings on either side. "V"

The bars and restaurant sound good, but in that building probably expensive. v
