With Londoners’ propensity to rebel and give skyscrapers their own nicknames (think the gherkin, cheese grater, and walkie talkie), the designers of the next skycraper maybe should have perhaps had a rethnink.

It is officially being called Spire London, but it’s been pointed out it actually resembles a massive penis.

The 67-storey building is going to be located in the Isle of Dogs and open in 2020.

Other names that it’s already been given are the Towering Innuendo and the Crystal Phallus.


We think it should just be nicknamed The Penis. Nice and simple.

What’s most interesting about The Penis is that it is located near the flightpath to City Airport. So that’ll be quite the welcome for arrivals from far and wide!



To buy one of the 765 luxury flats inside the giant peen, you’ll need upwards of £595,000.

Residents who live in the Spire will have access to an infinity pool, a gym, cinema and a cocktail bar.

The schlong-shaped £800million building is the brain child of Greenland Group, a Chinese company and construction is due to start later this year.
