Looking down the street outside the entrance, with walls full of gray and white squares I wondered what the inspiration was for this bland canyon (apart from money of course).

What is wrong with the UK? Why does everything have to be smashed up and ghastly ugly new buildings replace them? Surely facades and parts of the older buildings can be incorporated into less offensive so-called modern buildings. We ought to remember that the UK is NOT America and we do not have to do EVERYTHING that they do!!!!!!!!!

Greed is consuming this City .
I will join you all anywhere to stop this abomination. We don’t stop this, where will it end?

This is depressing. Why do some people want to destroy historic buildings in London, money of course. I rarely travel to London but when I do I am always depressed at the sight of huge modern blocks of concrete and glass. It is a struggle to spot the lovely historic buildings.

You were right to be suspicious. And those artist renderings are horrid. I don’t understand how London or England for that matter can allow such destruction of their history. I know it all comes down to greed, but there must be some higher authority that can put a stop to such travesty. I hope the historical society is successful in protecting as much as possible and scaling back another huge folly that will sit mostly empty, be bankrupt within a decade but only after destroying another bit of England’s historic past.

Do they really think people come to see their millennial architectural garbage? No! They come to see the lovely architecture of England’s past.

On a more positive note I was pleased to hear that Griff Rhys-Jones is heading the protest against this carbuncle and that it was a major topic on the radio London breakfast show yesterday.

Hopefully this will make more people aware of the situation, and give the campaign to stop it some much needed publicity…

I worked in Broad Street Place, which was next to Liverpool Street Station, in the early 1970s (I’ve no idea whether it still exists now). The City was a charming and interesting place then, but over the years developers have slowly destroyed a lot of it. We all need modernisation but this is utter desecration.
I would love to be able to sign a petition against this latest monstrosity if there is one.
