I've seen lots of threads asking us to guess the nationality of people, but guessing the nationality of skyscrapers is new for me.

I'd say the Carlton Centre is Borreby.

Cetainly a consequence of Dutch Settlers. Mercury Tower is clearly East-Nordid: tall and narrow.

The Largest in UK, is in London. Shard Tower. It's owned by Qatar & looks like Mordor. The watching eye gleaning over the City.
