Breaking up London's Skyline

I wrote previously about the new developments going on in and around central London. Foremost among the new skyscrapers is The Shard, going up above London Bridge station.

Having travelled past the building work a few times in the last month I decided I should share my pictures of the ongoing development. At the moment it looks like a large block of concrete has appeared, like The Obelisk in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Future of London

Just off Tottenham Court Road, along a small street with mostly boarded up shops, the unwitting visitor will find an exhibit devoted to futurism, realistic futurism. The Building Centre, home of New London Architecture, and a massive (or tiny, it is 1:1500) scale model of Central London in 2030.
