^ I wish that photo extended farther to the left. It cuts off half of the City of London, and while there aren’t as many big towers northwest of that (maybe Centre Point and some near Euston), you’d get the dome of St Paul’s in view.
Maybe someday London’s skyline will extend all the way from the City to Canary Wharf along the DLR and A13. There’s a lot of underutilized land in between, and it’s mostly post-war low-rise housing (so nothing of historic value that would be protected). The key will be making mixed income work, because it’s mostly council flats.
