Peaking at 236 metres high, One Lansdowne will be taller than any Canary Wharf tower block and only eclipsed by The Shard, which is 95 floors and 310 metres. — The Construction Index
The British are notorious for giving funny nicknames to their buildings. The construction of the One Lansdowne has not yet started, but Londoners have already noticed the tower's resemblance to a Rampant Rabbit sex toy.
The asymmetrical horse-shoe shaped complex is composed of two towers of 68 and 41 stories, linked by an 11-story podium. The towers will host affordable housing units, apartments, a hotel, a gym, commerces and office spaces. At 775 feet high, it would be the second tallest building in the UK.
Croydon approved the design but the plans need to be approved by the mayor of London before construction starts.

i'm sensing a hot carbuncle cup contender...
London is really insane if they greenlight this silly thing, whether it looks like a vibrator or not.
Does it look like a sex toy? No.
Does it look like shit? Yes.
