Thumbnail image for 2709595374_d35c53dbfe_b.jpgBoris Johnson clearly had something to celebrate on Twitter yesterday.

Under his MayorofLondon moniker he wrote:

Crossrail is an unstoppable force. Thanks a billion to the European Investment Bank! #TfL #London http://bit.ly/17zAIL

So we've been wondering in the office if this means he will step back from using his planning powers to force Tower Hamlets to reconsider its decision to reject Commercial Estates Group's 63-storey Columbus Tower in Canary Wharf, E14.

Johnson called in the decision last week because it "would deliver a significant contribution to Crossrail". EGi subscribers can read last week's story here. Well, it certainly one way to decide tomorrow's skyline.
