City of London skyscraper gets planning approval

An office tower nicknamed the “walkie-talkie” will be the latest exotic addition to London’s skyline after getting planning permission from the City of London planning committee. 20 Fenchurch Street, designed by architect Rafael Vinoly for Land Securities, Britain’s largest listed property company, will be a 37-storey tower with 600,000 sq ft of space. It will have a public “sky garden” on the roof with panoramic views from the 160-metre high building.
The news came as the consortium behind the Shard of Glass, a rival skyscraper at London Bridge – which would be the tallest in western Europe – announced it had completed a £190m funding package from Nationwide and Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander. The deal, secured by developers Irvine Sellar, Simon Halabi and CLS Holdings, follows the letting of 190,000 sq ft of office space to Transport for London.
