Naming Of London Skyscrapers
EDM number 267 in 2014-15, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 16/07/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Cultural heritage and Tourism.
That this House notes with concern the proposed renaming of the City's tallest building, Heron Tower, to SalesForce Tower; believes that this renaming could set a precedent for any iconic building to be given a new name based on a sponsorship deal; further believes that such changes could seriously undermine the reputation of London as tourists and visitors see a skyline filled with buildings with frivolous names; and therefore calls on the City of London and other local authorities in the capital only to consider name changes that are appropriate, given the long history and traditions of both London and the wider UK.
This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
