I like how St. Paul’s looks like it’s had a pressure wash.
What’s the tall tower in the middle?
In 100 years time, many of these sky scrapers will have been replaced by newer buildings as buildings aren’t built to last these days.
I was commenting the other day on the fact it is good London generally has kept to low buildings where low buildings are the norm and put the higher buildings (the shard maybe an outlier on this) where they congregate. I think that makes things look better and gets the needed office space.
The water level will be a lot higher.
Also you’ve just reminded me of how bloody ugly most of the new buildings in London are.
And still lots of cranes around
There was a sweet spot when there was Tower 42 and the Gherkin dominating the city skyline and they looked cool.
But nowadays it looks weirdly generic. If it wasn’t for St Pauls, it could be any skyline anywhere in the world.

I used to count the number of cranes whenever I walked across the millennium bridge from 2014-2020 as a sign of the economy.
Miss that

Much of London will be under water if we don’t cut carbon emissions hard and fast.
This picture looks like it’s a bit old to me, defo missing a few towers that are up now like:
1 Leadnehall
100 Bishopsgate
1 Bishopsgate Plaza
St Pauls repurposed as the Sadiq Khan Grand Mosque?
I feel sorry for the Gherkin which was an iconic London building for about a decade, featured on all sorts of memorabilia and was a proper London landmark in the making… and now can’t even be seen from most angles until you’re at the base.
Like Blade runner, levels built on levels. So the ground level won’t see daylight ever.
Glug glug? Ripples across the inland sea?
Hey at least they didn’t build that garden bridge, you’d only be able to see the tops of those things if anything.
I think it’ll look like the future version in the show Bodies, hopefully without the dystopia and dictatorship. I think they nailed the policewoman’s flat and neighborhood and the university.
St Paul’s is safe and that’s the main thing…
Probably under water
Very skyscrapery
Why do they suddenly start to build skyscrapers in London? Was there a law preventing it before?
Be like star trek into darkness
Barely looks any different. Check out the Manchester Skyline these days. Well impressive.
St. Paul’s will still be there. Everything else will be gone.

It’ll look underwater in 100 years time
Beautiful but we must go higher
