London's rapidly changing skyline (January 2015)

Central London's skyline (morning of 19th January)

Yesterday's post showed Central London's skyline in September 2005. Then the recently constructed Gherkin and the longer established NatWest Tower were the most dominant buildings in Central London. Now they play a decidedly secondary role amongst an increasing thicket of tall buildings lead by The Shard, whose upper section seems from this shot to be on the lean – a modern version of the leaning Tower of Pisa!

Quiet day sorting out photos including deleting duplicates. Will be posting a few favourites through the day.
