yeah, there's not much there compared to some other cities, but what's there is pretty good.
there are some especially good views of the city as you approach from windsor by train. views where the buildings are compressed into a denser cluster and the forests and river valley really make it seem like a nice, lush place to live. kind of like a 'forest city'.

6/10.

Woo hoo! My city's sister city! :D

I don't like the skyline, however, it has pretty fair height for a city of that size. Better than my city, and for that I must give it a 7.

It looks an excellent skyline for the size of the city, but it's fairly spread out. Looks well-wooded, but I suppose that doesn't count much as the skyline. ;)

I love the collection of buildings in the London skyline, especially the beautiful-looking glass towers and is actually pretty nice, although it could use a few more high-rises in its skyline, particularly office towers, and it is kind of spread out, which might throw some people off. I give it a 7.5, although I accidentally gave it a 7. The new CityPlace condominiums are very nice-looking and adds very nicely.

I always thought the opposite, that U.S. cities had more skyscrapers for city populations than Canada's cities... weird.

London's density is very limited, because it is spread out, but if all the buildings came together, it would make on hell of a skyline, IMO. For a city of its size, 350,000, that is.

I could never be objective because I was born and raised in London. But.......for a city of it's size I think London has quite a decent skyline. I noticed that 3 25 story apt building weren't included. If you get a true airshot I think you would be even more impressed. Still, trying to be objestive..7.5.
Also, London is a beautiful city, very nice place.

London's skyline is better than any other Canadian city with a similar population, with the exception of Niagra Falls. Places like Kitchener/Waterloo, or Windsor seem to have much smaller skylines. London also seems to be more urban than those places, although i haven't spent much time in Windsor or Kitchener/Waterloo.

impressive for a city with a metro around 500,000. i wish wilmington had buildings as tall as those. i think we only have 1 or 2 that would be any close. the only disappointing thing is that the buildings are too spread out. if the gaps were filled with midrises, it would get an easy 10.

Yes there is a Paris, Ontario and was a Berlin, Ontario (Now named Kitchener), and all are located within an hour of each other.

Kitchener is nearly more German than most actual German cities

Good for a city of its size, but could do better coming from a resident of the city.

It needs more modern development similar to One London Place and Talbot Centre, although the residential highrises being constructed shows progress.

Although London's downtown is a little dead, it seems more urban than many other cities of the same size (400,000) in Ontario. Kitchener/Waterloo, Windsor, etc, don't seem nearly as urban. London actually feels like a big city for the 5 sq blocks or whatever that is downtown.

I gave it a 4/10, sorry but I think quite the opposite. It's very small skyline FOR a city of it's size.... The city of London's not that small... It's the 10th largest city in Canada so it's pretty mid sized and there are far more cities under 400k in Canada with better skylines. Regina, Saskatoon, Halifax, Hamilton (a bit bigger) even Windsor in my opinion seems to have a bigger and better skyline than London. It just seems too spread out and not good enough for it's size imo.

Actually London has a lot of skyscrapers for it's size with two more over 20 stories in the inncer city under construction as we speak. They are both residential and downtown London's population is growing very fast which has, amongst other things, really turned the downtown around.
London' inner city has a lot of very good restaurants, cafes, and shopping in it's inner city which is helped by London being a white collar, university, old wealth city.
