Rating: One star. Possibly one of my least favourite buildings in London. In fact, I use those words in error because the term 'least favourite' implies that it's on my list of favourites. Which it most definitely isn't. I think GMW should be soundly whipped for this design. They were trying to invoke the spirit of Art Deco, in a post modernist style - but missing by miles. It's proportions are ungainly at some angles, and round edges ugly at others. If Londoners had felt the same passion as New Yorkers, and aimed their critical angst and vociferocity toward this behemoth at the design stage - then we may have had a few updates and re-works a-la Freedom Tower by the time it hit construction. Yuk.
