The BT Tower, Shard, One Canada Square and more are taller than Tower 42. So reference to 2nd tallest building in London should be removed as inaccurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.6.159.62 (talk) 11:22, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
The GLC was abolished in 1986, so an event in 1996 could not prompt it to do anything. Perhaps it was the City Corporation that changed planning guidance? MRSC (talk) 21:33, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
I seem to have wandered into a dispute with another editor on the old chestnut as to whether the building's plan is, or is not, based on the NatWest logo. So, trying to follow Wikipedia guidelines, let me summarise the position here on the talk page as I see it.
(1) Architect Richard Seifert always denied that he based the building design on the NatWest logo. There are ample citations for this.
(2) Whether Seifert is right or wrong, it is a fact that designs for the NatWest Tower were being developed as early as the mid 1960s (then as a new headquarters for the former National Provincial Bank) whereas the creation of National Westminster Bank, (though announced in 1968) did not take effect until 1970, when the new logo first appeared. The question of which came first is therefore, at the very least, debatable. There are also ample citations that acknowledge the issue is not clear cut.
(3) The original text in the article header states that the building design "closely resembles" the NatWest logo. A simple inspection of the two shows that this is clearly more accurate than to state the building design "is that of" the NatWest logo. Clearly the two are not identical.
I have therefore made edits to reflect these points and would be happy to debate the same.82.16.19.157 (talk) 15:18, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi
i have been told as an employee of Tower Managed Services - The building management team of Tower 42, i am an unreliable source to update the page.
I am writing to inform you quite a few bits of information on the Tower 42 page is incorrect, most of the companies are no longer there, the floor descriptions are wrong, and we have a new lighting display we would like to add to the lighting content part. i tried changing this earlier, but have been asked to email the Talk team. i am very new to this, and would really like to be able to update with the correct information.
We will be soon putting up the lighting page on our own Tower 42 website which i am currently updating, and due to fraud happening quite a bit through Tower 42, i really want to ensure the occupiers which are down as tenants are actually part of the building.
I am currently in talks with Companies house and Trading Standards and they have confirmed we need to do some editing on the page.
Please can you help me in regards to what i need to do in order to either edit the page myself, or have the false information removed please? HannahWalt101 (talk) 14:56, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Sorry. It’s tower management services. I am working off my phone from a hospital and therefore it was a typo. HannahWalt101 (talk) 15:35, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for this.
Would the Tower 42 website be a creditable source? As you will be able to see what we do through the website? HannahWalt101 (talk) 09:48, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
