It’s a little bit grey and a trifle dull at this stage, and Heron will never match the gherkin or even 1 Canada Square as an iconic building. But renders of the completed structure do suggest a reasonably handsome and well-proportioned addition to the skyline. As the main shot above attests, this one’s going to look its best at night.
Tomorrow, we’ll check out progress on the Pinnacle next door, and then the Shard at London Bridge on Wednesday.
