 Other Information
- Shakespeare Tower, along with the rest of the Barbican, was listed in 2001.
- William Shakespeare, whom the tower is named after, invented over 8,000 words in common usage in the English language and is the most successful playwright of any language to have ever lived.
- The balconies of the tower slant outwards from the top to bottom reducing the impression of vertigo on those using them.
- This is one of the joint three tallest residential towers in the U.K (with its partners).
