The City of London’s Skyline to Be Transformed in Just Six Years
New towers including one taller than anything now standing raise fears of “Londhattan” coming to the capital.
By 2030 the City of London financial district will have sprouted an entirely new crop of skyscrapers. And the difference will be striking.
The Square Mile is set to get a total of 11 new towers, the tallest stretching higher than any now existing. Together, they will turn what is currently a somewhat scattered and erratic cluster into a tight, almost grid-like area where tall buildings will line up in a formation resembling the bristles on a tooth brush.
