    The Walkie Scorchie Building!
    The heat of the sun reflected from a London skyscraper dubbed the "Walkie Talkie" has been blamed for damaging cars and bicycles and blinding passers-by.

    The heat reflected from the 37-storey skyscraper, which is currently under construction, is apparently so intense that it has burned holes in bicycle seats, caused parts of a Jaguar car to melt and forced passers-by to shield their eyes.

    It is thought that the unusual shape of the GBP 200 million building at 20 Fenchurch Street is causing a concentrated beam of light to reflect from the newly installed glass windows and strike at ground level.

    In a joint statement, developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf said that they are investigating the glare.

    "As a precautionary measure, the City of London has agreed to suspend three parking bays in the area which may be affected while we investigate the situation further."

    The Walkie Scorchie Building!
    The heat of the sun reflected from a London skyscraper dubbed the "Walkie Talkie" has been blamed for damaging cars and bicycles and blinding passers-by.

    The heat reflected from the 37-storey skyscraper, which is currently under construction, is apparently so intense that it has burned holes in bicycle seats, caused parts of a Jaguar car to melt and forced passers-by to shield their eyes.

    It is thought that the unusual shape of the GBP 200 million building at 20 Fenchurch Street is causing a concentrated beam of light to reflect from the newly installed glass windows and strike at ground level.

    In a joint statement, developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf said that they are investigating the glare.

    "As a precautionary measure, the City of London has agreed to suspend three parking bays in the area which may be affected while we investigate the situation further."
