In just 40 years...

The brand-new 2012 London Shard next to Guy's Hospital Tower. Opened in August 1975, has been described as the "second ugliest building in the UK" but still, at over 400 feet, the tallest hospital in the world.
Now undergoing a structural and cosmetic external "makeover". Shot from the highest point of the "London Eye"
