London's Changing Skyline

At certain points in its history, London must go through phases of rejuvenation. During the last 10 - 15 years skilled architects have designed an incredible range of contemporary buildings that have changed the city's skyline. These happily sit alongside the old as if they have always meant to be together. The view from the top of St. Pauls' Cathedral (yes, I managed all of those steps) revealed a skyline full of cranes.

The City of London Corporation that looks after the City on behalf of all who live, work and visit there, have put together a walking tour - Designs of the Times, discover the modern face of the city that leads the walker through the new, dynamic street-scapes of this city.

London has become so cosmopolitan, full of restaurants with state of the art fit outs and the photos below are what inspired me during my recent visit.

Okay, back to reality! Better get transforming spaces in Sydney!

  1. I love all your pictures and find London has definitively changed ! I like this one best :
    The Happenstance Bar and Restaurant, Ludgate Hill, would fancy a drink there ! We also have a Paul's boulangerie in Clermont Ferrand and I confess I drive an hour sometimes to get their fantastic bread ! You must have had a fantastic time !
