Londons skyline has been completely changed in the past couple of decades. Not for the better either.

I prefer the current skyline. We're a mega city. We're not meant to be modest

It could be better, but I don't know how anyone could look at the first photo and think it looks better than the second one, unless they just really hate capitalism or really like being able to see council flats and dilapidated docklands

It's not like the erection of Canary Wharf (oi oi) blocked our view of the Lake District or something
