Has this tower monument been built in London yet?
11 Answers
Not sure if this is the right area for this question but will ask it all the same. I understand that there is to be a tower built to rival the Eiffel tower and this is to be completed this month. I have not even heard of it, let alone seen it. Can any of you ABers help me out on this one?

I see it grow when I go past sometimes on the train. I'm looking forward to it being finished but not sure if I'll be able to make it to the top, no head for heights.
Its pretty impressive and will attract a few people in the future I think. Far more interesting than the new shopping centre opposite.

So far, the Olympic logo is a spray paint tag joke, and this tower is a lump of screwed up ironwork with no obvious function.
I hope I represent the tasteless majority who will have to swallow our words when these great artistic masterpieces join such as the the Sydney Opera House and the Angel of the North.

looks a bit like a turbocharged rollercoaster, which is not necessarily ugly. I have passed it on the train but only at a distance, so I can't tell whether it works in the flesh or not.
It was finished in October

as Chuck says, everyone hated the Eiffel Tower and would have pulled it down again if it hadn't proved useful as a radio mast. If it wasn't already so well known you might wonder what it was: a sort of tower built out of scaffolding with no building underneath and with peculiar splayed legs, and with no apparent purpose. It's not normally something you'd feel affectionate about, but everybody does - now.
Maybe people will love the Stratford tower some day too.
