These are the first concept pictures of a stunning new 1,000ft-high glass skyscraper featuring glass gondolas allowing visitors to ride on the outside.
The building dubbed 'The Tulip', which is set to become London's second tallest structure behind The Shard, will have a 12-storey glass bud on top of a 787ft concrete shaft with eight floors of viewing platforms.
The Tulip, which will have bars and restaurants inside to hold 1,500 people, will sit next to the Gherkin – the 590ft tower also known as 30 St Mary Axe which was designed in 2003 by the same architects, Foster + Partners.

Visitors to the skyscraper will have a unique 360-degree vantage point of London, with bridges, internal glass slides and gondola pod rides – along with interactive displays and talks from experts about the capital's history.
Plans will be submitted to the City of London Corporation today following a year of discussions and work is expected to start in 2020 on the building, which developers hope will attract one million visitors.
Sir Norman Foster, founder of Foster + Partners, said: 'It offers significant benefits to Londoners and visitors as a cultural and social landmark with unmatched educational resources for future generations.'
The Tulip would be just 1ft taller than architect Eric Parry's One Undershaft that is being built nearby, which had been at the height limit for towers in the Square Mile, reported the London Evening Standard.
This was due to flight path restrictions at London City Airport, but the Tulip can now be marginally higher thanks to a thick new layer of Tarmac on the runway.
The Tulip will become the second tallest tower in London - and will be more than three times the height of Big Ben

The Tulip, which will be 1,000ft high, is pictured across the River Thames from The Shard, which stands at 1,016ft tall
There will be interactive displays and talks from experts about the capital's history, along with an education centre
The Tulip will have a pavilion building where visitors will arrive before being taken under the existing piazza to double-decker lifts that will take them up to the top, where there will also be a high-tech education floor.
Developers say they have already held a dozen meetings with planning officials that were 'fruitful and exciting' – and an opening date of 2025 has been proposed if construction is secured.
Jacob J Safra, of J Safra Group, which owns The Gherkin and is also involved in latest project, said it would be a 'world-class visitor attraction', adding: 'The Tulip's elegance and soft strength complements the iconic Gherkin.
'We are confident in London's role as a global city and are proud to offer its schoolchildren a state-of-the-art classroom in the sky to appreciate London's history and dynamism.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
