I guess I’m dating myself here but I just can’t get used to a London that even has much of a skyline to speak of. In my time there back in the early 90’s what few buildings could be considered skyscrapers were sort of peripheral, akin to the areas out in La Défense, the area around Paris.
Just say “No!” London needs this like a hole in the head.
That's a bit how I feel about Philadelphia. For 100 years there was a law that no building could be taller than the statue of William Penn on top of the 19th century City hall in Philly. The skyline, as a result, was that statue sticking up over everything. Then in the early 90s they bent the rule for a single skyscraper because it was sort of over there, where you didn't see it if from the main thorofares. But once the rule is bent once, well, there are plenty of skyscrapers now. Not like Manhattan or London (now) but it's still jarring to see an entire city look different than it was when I was a kid.
