What a cool video! I visited London for the first time in November and absolutely loved it (as it seems everyone does). I loved the skyscrapers there, even got to go up to the top of the Shard which was amazing. The Shard now ranks as my third favorite skyscraper

I took this in 2007 and it's changed dramatically even since then:

^nice. See if you can spot the building in the centre u/c (my former office) below, and you get the scale below:



The tallest is just shy of being a supertall, but the scale is deceiving from the river. The foreground always looks larger than normal (eg compare the trees, which are actually massive).

Really wish a meteor would hit the walkie talkie, though they're planning to hide it with neighbours.

I was in London last summer, and I had an awesome time. The skyscrapers are quite interesting, but I wish they weren't all finished with the same blue glass. Mind you, Toronto is even worse. Every new building (and there are a trillion of them) seems to have the same blue glass.
