london skyline would be insanely massive if all the highrises, skyscrapers and supertall are built and put together at the same location like in frankfurt or la defense

[Jamsterx]

I agree, but I like to think that is one of the things that makes London different from other major cities (in a good way).

[SO143]

+1

that makes london more unique and a much bigger city compared to the rest of other european rivals from the continent. if you look at new york skyline, it also has two major clusters and i think london is also trying to approach the same way. it is just a matter of time, the clusters are growing year by year and the londoners should let that happen rather than trying to prevent the construction and project of every proposed skyscraper

one financial centre to another financial centre is more than 3 miles far, not to mention the distance between the shard to croydon

That’s Amsterdam ...

I’m saying that before someone is asking again: cool city, where is it?

Yeah but, New York skyline is unique, even if London wants to do the same thing it's impossible, NY's skyline was made over 1 century with unique architecture.

I don’t know, I have never heard about the city

@tikiturf

i knew a comment like that would be posted by someone. what i said was london is trying to approach the same way which is to create two major clusters within the city (unlike other major european cities which have only one cluster outskirts of the city or in the centre of the city), of course london is not trying to get the same amount of skyscrapers like in new york and it would be ridiculous too especially for a european city which has over 2000 years of history, tons of world heritage sites and historical buildings with breathtaking architecture. i suppose it is a common sense that the size of london or any other european city skyline will never be able to catch up with the size of new york skyline which has been building plenty of skyscrapers since 1890

NY and London have their own merits and I love them both. Massive skylines not necessary mean better.

[SO143]

totally agree but i think massiveness gives you a better impression and of course new york has no rival in europe when it comes to skyline

It is amazing how much the skyline of Milano grew in the past years. It just came out of nowhere! Bravo Milano!
