A 1000 foot skyscraper nicknamed the Trellis has been given planning approval in London, and it will become Europe’s second-tallest building when constructed.
The 73-storey building is officially called 1 Undershaft. It is only 16 feet smaller than Europe’s tallest building, the Shard, which is also located in London.
