And they couldn't find a better place for that 'fashionable masterpiece' than building it beside St Paul's Cathedral?!

I understand many buildings that are now true magna opera were deemed 'unacceptable' when they were built; however I really don't like the sound of 'gleaming walls of glass to girders which lurch at fashionably acute angles'. And I don’t see it ever being in harmony with magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral.
