Construction has now completed on the Heron Tower, Bishopsgate. And it will have the new must have accessory of the modern office development: yes, an aquarium, complete with its very own SHARK. Which may look a bit like this (although probably still alive):

The aquarium's tenants are due to move in in this summer, and will include 1,200 fish of 67 different species. It is located in the reception area, and will be the largest privately-owned aquarium in London. Even more bizzarely, the fish are being imported from Heron Island, near the Great Barrier Reef. Here's a pic of it from the construction firm Skanska, who installed it in the lobby.
Marketing has yet to begin on the tower, but already a few companies have taken space, US law firm McDermot, Will & Emery, Landmark and Drake & Morgan. Sushisamba will operate the restaurant and sky bar at the top of the tower.
