Default The London Olympic Tower - Your Thoughts
Now.. I'm not to keen on it tbh.. but it's got the go ahead.

It is called 'The ArcelorMittalOrbit' It will be 375 feet high -that's 72 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. It will sit next to the Olympic Stadium





Personally i thought this entry, 'The London Cloud' should have won!!

This is modern art just going too far. Hideous looking thing that will never stand the test of time. It's already an eyesore to me and it hasn't even been built yet.
