context_page_description: As of August 2020 there are 110 habitable buildings in the United Kingdom at least 100 metres tall, 89 of them in London, 10 in Manchester, 3 in Birmingham, 2 in Leeds and 1 each in Brighton and Hove, Liverpool, Portsmouth, Salford, Sheffield and Swansea.
  The Shard in Southwark, London, is currently the tallest completed building in both the UK and was the tallest in the European Union until the UK’s departure; it was topped out at a height of 310 metres in March 2012, inaugurated in July 2012 and opened to the public in February 2013.
  The UK had not been noted historically for its abundance of skyscrapers, with the taller structures throughout the country tending to be cathedrals, church spires and industrial chimneys. Despite this, since the late 20th century the number of high-rise apartment buildings and office blocks in many large British cities has grown significantly, most notably in London and Manchester. The three tallest residential buildings in the UK are all located on the Isle of Dogs in East London: Landmark Pinnacle, Newfoundland Quay and Valiant Tower. Landmark Pinnacle is currently the tallest residential building in Europe.
