Hiking

Because of its shape, the high-rise at 20 Fenchurch Street is also known as The Walkie-Talkie or The Pint ("The Beer Glass"). A height of 200 m was originally planned; however, this was reduced to 160 m due to its proximity to St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. In 2015, the building won the Carbuncle Cup, an award for the ugliest building in the UK.
