The United Kingdoms tallest buildings by City

compiled by John Parkin, Jon Smith, Pete Kelly and James Newman.
This list contains buildings complete or under construction only,
approved buildings and proposed ones are not counted. I have
added the average heights for the City and Tower Hamlets so you
can see height inflation in progress.

THE CITY OF LONDON

One area of the country that has seen constant growth since the 'big bang' of the late 80 is the City. We've been keeping tabs of it, as you can see below with the averages for the top 20 tallest over that time it's seen impressive growth in height. The dates, as always, refer to the year the towers are due to be completed. Under construction towers are included in the dates and averages, so a tower u/c in 2004 is included in the 2004 average.
