I’m torn when I see images like this. On the one hand, I love London’s classic look. On the other hand, I love gleaming glass skyscrapers (we’re from Chicago, we invented the skyscraper). I just don’t know if I love them in London.

Does London have enough skyscrapers? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

  1. Jonathan, I think the skyline is perfect NOW. I hope it doesn’t get crowded. I do love the Chicago skyline , from the lake especialy but Chicago is NOT London and London has it’s 2000 plus years of fabulous history and God forbid they would crowd it out. I don’t think they will but then they did build those hideous office buildings after WWII!! Hopefully the architects of today and Prince Charles will never allow that to happen again.
