Design by Sir Misha Black

Had a 1950s plan by British architect and designer, Sir Misha Black, been taken forward a vast nuclear submarine-like building might have dominated London's South Bank. The unexecuted design included a disc-shaped observation platform more than 450 metres (1,500 feet) above London and a terrace so huge that people could actually sail yachts on it. The building would have been the tallest structure in the world at the time.

The image below by visual content marketing agency NeoMam Studios shows what the building would have looked like if it had gone ahead.
