The tallest skyscraper in London opens to the public this
weekend.
Dubbed the "Cheesegrater" because of its unique
sloped shape, the tower is a feat of engineering: almost 80 percent of the
construction was prefabricated in the north of England and shipped in the
middle of the night.
The tower comes amid a building boom in London stoked by
demand for office and residential space. Seven towers are due to be completed
in the next two years, with 230 skyscrapers in the pipeline for the next
decade.
