New skyscraper for London as steels go in at the Walkie Talkie

Another skyscraper is going up in London. Six months after saying they'd commit to the Walkie Talkie the first steels are actually going in at 20 Fenchurch Street (to give it it's grown up name). Another 4,499 steels will follow.

At the start of the month developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf Group said they were close to signing up the first tenant (£) in the 675,000 sq ft tower with insurer Markel thought to be close to taking 80,000 sq ft. There's been no official confirmation, now that would be something to celebrate.
