The Tulip observation tower is the newest architectural proposal for the city of London. 
The building was designed by British architecture studio Foster + Partners, who previously designed the London City Hall and the famous Gherkin. If approved, construction could begin as soon as 2020 and conclude in 2025.


The tower would act as a cultural attraction and become the city's tallest skyscraper at 305 meters. According to a press release from the architecture firm, it will be equipped with education facilities, gondola pods, sky bridges and a sky bar and restaurants with a 360-degree view of the city. 


The skyscraper would be made of concrete, steel, aluminum framing and high performance glass. Its parking facilities would allow for up to 284 bicycles and 2 handicap parking spaces.
