The Shard, completed in 2012, is the tallest building in London and the tallest in the European Union. The 21st century has seen a spate of high rises in a city which used to pride itself on its low-rise skyline. London now has 18 skyscrapers over 450 meters. Some are in the East End, some are in Canary Wharf, and one (this one) is in long-neglected Southwark. [2015]
