A towering new 74-storey skyscraper the exact same height as The Shard has been given the go-ahead by the City of London.
The high-rise tower will be 309.6 metres (1016ft) tall and join The Shard as the tallest building in the UK, as well as the tallest in Western Europe.
Officially called 1 Undershaft, the mega-structure will host Europe’s highest publicly accessible viewing gallery, as well as a ‘classroom in the sky’ for children at levels 72 and 73.
