From Bloomberg yesterday:

The global financial crisis isn't stopping the City of London from moving ahead with plans to add more skyscrapers to its skyline. The construction of a 24-story office building dubbed the Can of Ham, near the Gherkin tower in the main financial district, was approved by the municipal planning authority yesterday. The Can of Ham will be built at 60-70 St. Mary Axe and will be 90 meters (295 feet) high, according to Targetfollow, the company owned by Ardeshir Naghshineh that plans to develop the property.

Have a look at the "Can of Ham" and tell me if it's got you licking your lips.
