Other than the Keybridge House tower (London telecoms centre) Cap Gemini empty tower block, and the rest of the St George's Wharf development? Admittedly they're not 700m, but still of significant height and strategic importance.
As Fox has pointed out, the river is used as the flight path, and the tower is right on the river, and tall buildings are going to cause localised bits of weather. Can't say that the safety lights on it were particularly large or obvious - I can see the Shard ones from my desk and that's 2 miles away? I was struggling to see the one on the crane last night, but it was there.
I've just been out for a fag - the rest of the jib is still just hanging there slightly propped up by a balcony.
