London has had many projects that never took off the ground. They were either ridiculous, impractical or too expensive. But it sure has created some interesting planning applications and proposals throughout London’s history. The folks over at Barratt Homes have taken the historical proposals and did some photoshop magic to imagine what these plans would look like in modern London if they’d actually been built.
You can read about each scheme over at Barratt Homes’s website – click here.
Here are all the ideas for a London that could have been:
The Victorian Skyscraper
The Carlton Hotel
Trafalgar Square Pyramid
Westminster City Airport
Central London Monorail
