Out Dated buildings
editThis article is out dated and needs to be updated, it is also missing rather large towns/city's such as Southend on Sea.
I seem to recall that London Shard is now the tallest building in London — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.36.54 (talk) 21:18, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
- Morseby Tower is now the tallest building in southampton. Not sure when we consider something complete enough to count it though.©Geni (talk) 17:07, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
I was just thinking this about Southampton as well, it isnt open yet though so I guess it isnt valid. - Jack
Spires/pinnacles included in heights?
editJust bringing to light the fact that within the article for the listed height of some buildings spires are included e.g Stadium House, Cardiff whilst with Other such as The Blade, Reading the roof height is displayed as the height. What is the correct way to rectify this inconsistency, is there a rule in place for this? We need to be clear whether we are measuring roof height or tip height
Bristol's tallest building wrong?
editAccording to another Wiki page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_and_structures_in_Bristol
Castlemead is not the tallest building, St. Mary Redcliffe is.
Is the above point about spires/pinnacles relevant?

Norwich
editI visited Norwich yesterday and the Cathedral utterly dominates the skyline in what is a rather flat city. I query why spires are specifically excluded in this article as many are very broad at the base and significant in the skyline. Not only that, but it further makes the article inaccurate because, usually, the height of spires is not recorded, only the entire tower as a whole, and having been to Norwich, I would think it highly likely that the Cathedral tower, minus the spire, is still taller than the 2nd tallest building in the city. This would be difficult to determine however so I think there needs to be some series change on this article and a re-working of guidelines for inclusion. TMcB23 (talk) 08:49, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
