    I lived in Tokyo for about 10 years and returned home only to find London's skyline has probably now surpassed it. Both have that old meets new thing - great when you get a temple/shrine or church/castle in the foreground with a skyscraper in the background. Still... Tokyo is a much easier place to live on a low-middle income!

    London has beautiful historic buildings and brutal, ugly, historic buildings AND a few skyscrapers that are well designed and unique while also having mundane, run-of-the-mill skyscrapers that look like shoeboxes in the sky. So long as emerging skyscrapers are designed with the highest quality and don’t look out of place, London in the future will be a beautiful city that harmonises old and new in perfect synergy.

    I'm afraid that central London's skyline has lost some of its magic to bland pieces of architecture. Nice video though.

      There's some amazing building that I try and capture here like One Blackfriars which is a stunning building. But will be interesting to see how the skyline develops. They need to keep a tight grip on only letting the best be built

    • @Aerial_Bruce
      @Aerial_Bruce  2 місяці тому +1

      It's because of a law stopping building being built taller than St Pauls cathedral. The laws have been relaxed now but some of the skyscraper shapes are still dictated by the line of sight laws that still exists where you have to be able to see St Pauls from certain angles. It is also why London skyscrapers are generally in clusters together.
