London has seen plans for the city’s largest building – the Leadenhall Tower, aka “the cheesegrater” – shelved for the time being because of the credit crunch:

The firm blamed weak demand for office space and rising construction costs.

British Land said the building would be completed in 2012 when letting prospects should have improved.
