No 2-Mile-High Tower in London: The Shard Is Tallest at 1,016 Feet

London has no structure reaching two miles (10,560 feet) in height. The tallest building is The Shard at 1,016 feet (310 meters) with 72 habitable floors. A two-mile tower would be over ten times taller than any existing building on Earth (Burj Khalifa: 2,717 ft). Such a structure is beyond current engineering and material capabilities.
